Jammin? Java Moves, Plans Second Location

With the renovation of Fayetteville’s Old Post Office building under way (to be reopened as Sodie’s Fountain & Grill), Jammin’ Java was forced to leave the 800-SF nook it had occupied for the past two years on the east side of the building.

Brandon Karn didn’t move his business too far away, though. He’s just across Mountain Street from the OPO in Executive Square, the same building that houses Tiny Tim’s pizza restaurant. Karn planned to open at the new location on Aug. 14.

The new spot will almost double his square-footage inside to 14,000 and quadruple the number of seats, from 15 at the old place to about 60 at the new, with about half of those being on the patio.

Karn said he plans to open his second coffee shop by Christmas in John W. Cole’s Singletree Plaza on Fayetteville’s Millsap Road. Karn said he’s also talking with Tyson Foods Inc. about providing a “coffee cart” for employees of Tyson’s management center, which will go into the renovated Food 4 Less building on Fayetteville’s Sixth Street.

At the main location — 21 W. Mountain St., Suite 200 — Jammin’ Java offers about 35 different coffees and 10 to 15 teas. Karn said the he will expand the sandwich and food menu after he gets settled in.

Jammin’ Java is open from 6 a.m. to about 7:30 p.m. seven days a week.
