Now we know where Stella’s Modern Pantry is going.
The popular eatery recently announced it was leaving downtown Ocala for another location.
On June 16, in a news release issued by Angie Lester of The Boyd Group, the new location was announced. Lester’s group, along with Castro Properties, is welcoming Stella’s to Golden Hills Center, 6998 N. U.S. 27, Suite 108.
The business is slated to open within the first few weeks of September.
The release says: “For nearly 18 years, Stella’s has been a favorite gathering place for locals and visitors alike, building a loyal following through exceptional service, creative offerings, and a welcoming atmosphere.”
At the new venue, the release says, the establishment “will introduce an exciting new concept while preserving the same modern flair, warmth, and fun that customers have come to know and love.”
In that same release, Lester said Stella’s will be a “perfect fit for the center,” which already boasts Darrell’s Diner, Horse and Hounds, Remington’s Prime and the Juniper General Store.
“Be on the lookout for our new retail stores coming soon, as well,” Lester added.
Bringing Stella’s Modern Pantry to this new location was “made possible through Castro Properties, a family whose commitment to Marion County spans decades,” according to the release.
