A Chinese food restaurant in Jupiter has moved from its longtime location in a plaza that is getting ready to welcome a Whole Foods Market and a Total Wine & More store.
Golden Pavilion has relocated from The Shoppes at Jupiter plaza along U.S. 1 and Indiantown Road across from Harbourside Place to the Admirals Crossing Shopping Plaza at Military Trail and Frederick Small Road, according to a prerecorded message linked to the restaurant's phone number.
It has joined Sprouts Farmers Market, Planet Fitness and Berry Fresh Cafe, among other stores, at its new home, about 3 miles southwest of the old one. Golden Pavilion has sold soups, chow mein, fried rice and lo mein from The Shoppes at Jupiter plaza for at least a decade.
"We already moved to the
new location," the prerecorded message said.
It was not immediately clear why Golden Pavilion left The Shoppes at Jupiter plaza, but the restaurant has fallen in line with other recent store closures.
In recent months, the Palm Beach Sports Club gym and Soul Rebel cafe closed. Workers at other stores said they had heard talk of other vacancies.
What's coming to The Shoppes at Jupiter plaza?
The Shoppes at Jupiter, one of Jupiter's older shopping plazas, is poised for a makeover that will change not only its appearance but its mix of stores and restaurants, positioning it to draw a more affluent clientele.
The new owners of The Shoppes at Jupiter will bring a Whole Foods Market and a Total Wine & More store to the nearly 50-year-old plaza at U.S. 1 and Indiantown Road, according to documents filed with the town.
Total Wine is set to replace the plaza's long-time Staples outlet in late 2027, and Whole Foods to replace the Beall's department store in the spring of 2028.
The internet is abuzz with talk about what storefronts might join the space perhaps best known for the Cinépolis movie theater.
Are Sephora, Free People and Cava coming to Jupiter?
Ram Realty Advisors of Palm Beach Gardens isn't ready to say what other tenants might join them, but people on social media have ideas about what the upscale storefronts should be. The fast-casual place Cava, the French-style bistro Maman and the clothing store Free People are among those mentioned.
One of the longest-rumored stores is RH (formerly Restoration Hardware), which shot down any talk that it planned to open a store in the plaza in July. A spokesperson for Cava said they didn't have concrete plans to share. Other cited possibilities online include Sephora, Madewell and Joe & the Juice.
Ram paid more than $52 million to buy the property in 2025 and hopes to start work on the changes this year. It presented its plans to the Town Council on July 21. The council postponed a vote that night, saying it wanted more information about traffic at the intersection and what the plaza would look like.But during the meeting, Brian Maloney, Ram’s chief retail officer, hinted at what the new stores might include. He said that “other small-shop tenants” will open between mid-2027 to mid-2028 and that the owner wants to downsize Cinepolis to make more room for stores.
The owner is in discussions with a coffee shop, a cosmetics retailer, fitness outlets and service businesses, he said.
“The proposed tenants will be similar to other grocery-anchored shopping centers you see in Chasewood or in Palm Beach Gardens or other parts of Palm Beach County,” Maloney said. “Retail is harder to get these days. The Gardens Mall ends up where people go, but I think we will have some kind of boutique retail, local-regional-operator-type retail.”
At one point, the plaza’s owner had early discussions with the town about Lululemon and Ulta, but the town as of July had not received any follow-up about those stores, said Malise Sundstrom, a town council member. She said she is most concerned about traffic by the center.
“This is such a major transition for a part of town that hasn't been looked at in a long time with a lot of traffic impacts,” Sundstrom said during the July 21 council meeting. “We have to get this right because this will impact circulation. This is our beach. This is our inlet village. It is the gateway to the beach in a way.”
