Green Haven Co. will reopen its storefront at 73 East Central Park Plaza in Jacksonville on October 3. The refillery is shifting from its original 66 East Central Park Plaza location, which has been operational since 2021.
Why it matters
The relocation allows the business to downsize its physical footprint while maintaining its retail presence in the local market. For local operators, the move reflects a strategy of optimizing overhead costs by adjusting square footage requirements within the same district.
Green Haven Co. opened in 2021 and is now moving to a smaller space within the same complex. The business will remain closed for the final two weeks of September 2026 before resuming trade at the new address.

The details
The relocation involves a move from 66 East Central Park Plaza to 73 East Central Park Plaza, shifting the refillery into a smaller unit within the building. This adjustment enables the woman-owned business to continue providing refillable household and personal-care products while reducing its physical scale. The store is scheduled to welcome customers again on October 3.
Timeline
The store was originally opened in 2021.
Operations will be suspended for the final two weeks of September 2026.
The business will reopen on October 3, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Market Landscape
This move follows the retail industry trend of footprint optimization through downsizing as operators seek to maximize efficiency. The decision to remain within the same plaza suggests a focus on retaining existing customer traffic while refining the store's operating model.
Business owners should assess whether their current square footage aligns with recent sales volume or if a downsize could improve net margins. Reviewing commercial lease terms for relocation clauses can help determine if a similar consolidation strategy is viable.
The takeaway
Smaller operational footprints can offer a pathway to sustainable growth in competitive districts. Monitor the store's reopening on October 3 to observe how product density and customer traffic shift following the downsizing.
