When Clermont-based developer Darren Johnson told Orlando Business Journal in February he had listed his 3,648-square-foot Johnson’s Village Marketplace property on half an acre at 550 West Ave., he left open the possibility that he instead may keep it and lease it to a “destination” concept.

On May 9, Johnson confirmed to OBJ that Ax-Caliber, an axe-throwing concept with a location in Lakeland, has a signed letter of intent to open at the property. He said a lease deal is pending, subject to a planned-unit development amendment that will go before Clermont City Council later this month.
