Revitalized Pier Road Emerges as The District Shops Transforming Jekyll Island into a Must-Visit Destination

• Share on:

JEKYLL ISLAND - The Pier Road shopping district has transformed into The District Shops following a nine-month renovation, aimed at revitalizing the area that previously struggled to attract visitors. The Jekyll Island Authority, which manages the island, opted not to renew leases for existing businesses, prompting public concern over the loss of local charm. New establishments, including Wake Up Coffee Company and Founder’s Social, have since opened, creating a welcoming atmosphere and addressing visitor feedback for improved retail options and gathering spaces.
