JERSEY CITY, NJ — A business that was helping to revive Jersey City’s West Side Avenue said it will close its doors for good this coming Friday.
“It has been such a pleasure serving this community premium coffee,” wrote the owners of JC Coffee Factory in an Instagram post on Sunday. “We want to thank all of our loyal customers that have kept us moving forward since the beginning. We planted this shop with hopes of expanding, however, we are saddened to announce that we will officially close our doors Friday June 19th. We will miss you all greatly! All our love always, Jose & Sen.”
The shop opened on the western edge of the the McGinley Square neighborhood, which also includes St. Peter’s University, just a little over a year ago, in February of 2019. The historic area is south of the Journal Square PATH station.
Within half a year, the coffee house was hosting open mic nights in conjunction with Crystal Letters and Growing in Jersey City.
But even as the state of New Jersey announced it would allow outdoor dining starting this week, with coronavirus safety restrictions, the shop planned to close.
“Thank you for bringing happiness, love & your passion for wonderful coffee to the community,” wrote one commenter. “Thank you for all of your support as one of our wholesalers. I wish you all the best in future endeavors!”
