For the first time since before hurricanes Ivan and Dennis, Navarre is now not only expanding in population, but in attractions, dining establishments, and other tourist options as well. In 2017 and 2018 alone, Navarre saw the opening of several major housing and apartment complexes, a brand new hotel, a new prototype Walmart Neighborhood Store, and several new restaurants. This expansion appears to be continuing, with the announcement of a new Aldi Supermarket, Homegoods, and several more establishments. Chick-fil-A and Starbucks are considering locations at the Boulevard, a planned development that will include a large high-end apartment complex, several restaurants, and retail and box stores. Firestone and Dunkin’ Donuts are also under construction near the Aldi site. On October 28th, 2020, it was announced that a grocery store and 20-unit shopping center was planned in Navarre just west of the Santa Rosa/Okaloosa County line. While it is not confirmed what will go there, there is speculation that it could be a Publix or Trader Joe's. This, however, is not yet confirmed.
