The Georgia Jekyll Island State Park Authority (JIA) is seeking proposals through Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 383 for the lease and operation of two properties located at 24 and 26 Pier Road on Jekyll Island as an Ice Cream and Candy Store. The goal is to select a lessee who will complement the island's National Historic Landmark District and contribute to the overall revitalization of Jekyll Island. The RFP outlines a minimum 5-year lease term with potential renewal options, a base rent of approximately $16 per square foot annually, and percentage rent set at 4% of gross sales.

The proposal submission deadline is July 8, 2024, and the JIA Board of Directors is expected to consider and approve the recommended proposal on August 20, 2024.
