A permit application has been filed for the $985,000 interior build-out of the $1.04 million shell structure recently approved by the city.

Target Contractors Inc. is the contractor for the project, a 24,000-square-foot store for the North Carolina-based organic and natural foods grocer.

Plans show Earth Fare also will offer a 41-seat caf area near the entrance. The caf is near the coffee and yogurt bar.

The store is at 11901 Atlantic Blvd. in the center anchored by Academy Sports & Outdoors and LA Fitness. Belk also plans to build a department store there.

The center, developed by Sleiman Enterprises, is at northwest Kernan and Atlantic boulevards.

Earth Fare will include 13,510 square feet of sales area and 8,676 square feet for storage and preparation, along with mechanical and other space.

Earth Fare, based in Fletcher, N.C., near Asheville, calls itself "the healthy supermarket." It began in 1975 and now operates 31 stores in nine states, including a Florida store in Tallahassee. It started in 1975.
