Paradise Restaurant & Lounge looks to be sliding into the Shoppes of Wells Landing on Wells Road in Orange Park, according to recent filings and commercial listings. The planned restaurant-and-lounge would fill a busy strip-center slot already anchored by veterinary and pet-service businesses. So far, there is no posted menu and no announced opening date.
According to What Now, plan-review paperwork filed under Paradise Restaurant & Lounge LLC pegs Suite 1 at 550 Wells Road as the proposed address and describes the incoming business as a restaurant and lounge.

The document lists 550 Wells Road, Unit 1 as the principal address and names Vincent McKennon and Pedro Parks as officers.

Center tenant materials, along with information on Sandy Paws Animal Hospital’s website, show that the Shoppes of Wells Landing already hosts veterinary and pet-care operators close to the available space, a setup that suggests steady daytime traffic from surrounding neighborhoods and nearby medical offices.
Port St. Lucie Connection
Online business directories list a Paradise Restaurant and Lounge at 1334 SW Bayshore Blvd in Port St. Lucie, indicating that the name has been in use elsewhere in Florida in the past. Public records do not spell out whether that operation is tied to the newly formed Orange Park corporation, and current Sunbiz records show the recent Orange Park filing as the active entity linked to the Wells Road address…
