Shoppers only have to wait a couple more weeks before they can roam the aisles of the new Marshalls department store opening at St. Johns Town Center.

The nationwide apparel, home fashion and beauty retailer plans to open on May 22 at 10261 River Marsh Drive, the company posted on its website.

The store replaces the former Staples, which closed permanently on July 23 last year. Located on the northern end of the sprawling retail center near Target, the office supply store opened in 2005 as one of the original tenants of the Town Center.

With the opening of the Town Center location, Marshalls will have eight stores in Northeast Florida, including three in Jacksonville, and one each in Orange Park, Jacksonville Beach, St. Augustine and Palatka, the company website shows.

Marshalls is among several new stores already open or coming soon to the shopping center on Jacksonville's Southside.
