Shore to close well-known St. Armands location, citing floods, storms

Shore plans to close its well-known, two-story restaurant and retail location on St. Armands Circle this December but could expand on the Gulf Coast, according to a statement from the Leonard family, which owns the brand. The family cited the recent storms in driving the decision to move out.

Shore's last day in business on St. Armands Circle will be Dec. 1, Courtney Leonard says in an email to the Business Observer. 

The Leonards purchased the location at 465 John Ringling Blvd. for $2.2 million in 2005, according to Sarasota County property records.
