Answer:

The man over there in the green jacket: a former professional football player; owns the drugstore in the little shopping center, near the fire station.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways to put the punctuations which are all correct. You can also use that semicolon because you have two related independent clauses in the sentence.
