The St. Augustine Amphitheatre is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its first-ever on-site merchandise shop, renovated Box Office, and The Kookaburra Coffee Outpost with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, February 15, at 8:30 AM. This milestone marks an exciting new chapter for the Amphitheatre, providing fans with a dedicated retail space for exclusive merchandise, improved box office experience, and a partnership with beloved local coffee shop The Kookaburra.

 

Located at the Amphitheatre’s entrance, the newly designed space will serve as both a merchandise store and the official Box Office, which now features multiple points of sale. Fans can conveniently purchase exclusive Amphitheatre-branded apparel, collectibles, and concert tickets in person while avoiding online ticketing fees. The Amp Shop and Box Office will be open seven days a week from 7 AM to 5 PM with extended hours on show days.

As part of this exciting expansion, The St. Augustine Amphitheatre is proud to partner with The Kookaburra Coffee to introduce The Kookaburra Coffee Outpost, a full-service coffee shop offering a complete menu of coffee, espresso, house-made baked goods, and retail coffee. Conveniently located inside the Amp Shop, The Kookaburra Coffee Outpost will also be open daily from 7 AM to 5 PM, with extended hours on show days. 

“The Kookaburra is very excited at the opportunity to be a part of the Amphitheatre experience,” said Spencer Hooker and Megan Vidal, founders and owners of The Kookaburra Coffee. “As a born and bred St. Johns County brand, our focus on customer experience and deep community connection will serve to enhance the uncompromising authenticity of The St. Augustine Amphitheatre and SJC Cultural Events, Inc. organization.”

The St. Augustine Amphitheatre will celebrate the grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, February 15, at 8:30 AM during the Saturday Farmers Market. As a special thank you, St. Johns County residents will enjoy 20% off Amphitheatre merchandise purchased in-store all day.

“For years, we’ve envisioned having an on-site merchandise shop at The St. Augustine Amphitheatre, and we’re thrilled to finally bring that vision to life,” said Gabe Pellicer, CEO and president of SJC Cultural Events, Inc. “Our team is dedicated to creating unforgettable concert experiences for both our local community and visitors, and this new space allows fans to take a piece of that experience home with them. Partnering with The Kookaburra—a brand that shares our deep roots and commitment to St. Johns County—reinforces our mission of being ‘Community Owned, Community Operated, and Community Led.’ We couldn’t be more excited to welcome everyone into this space as we kick off an incredible new concert season.”

The launch of the Amp Shop, renovated Box Office, and The Kookaburra Coffee Outpost aligns with the start of the highly anticipated 2025 concert season, which kicks off with Alice Cooper on February 11 and continues with performances by Gipsy Kings, Giggly Squad, Wallows, and two nights of Willie Nelson & Family. With 42 concerts currently on sale, plus community events, the popular Saturday Farmers Market, and more exciting announcements on the way, The St. Augustine Amphitheatre is gearing up for its biggest season yet.
