J.Crew Factory is coming to Tallahassee shopping center near Whole Foods. J.Crew Factory appears to be the latest major retailer coming to Tallahassee at Miracle Plaza on Thomasville Road. | UrbanTallahassee
J.Crew Factory is officially under construction to open a 5,000 SF space at the Whole Foods anchored shopping center.
It took 5+ years before NAI Talcor Commercial Real Estate Broker Debbie Ashlin made a new tenant in this property.
It's not immediately clear when the retailer will open. Between this, Lululemon, Whole Foods, and more, the center seems to be attracting a lot of big names.
