PJ's Coffee back to New Orleans

Alanta-based PJ’s coffee chain will shortly be in the hands of a New Orleans group. Raving Brands is selling its interests in PJ’s Coffee to the Ballard family and its partners.

PJ’s coffee originated in New Orleans 30 years ago and its new owners say they intend to bring the company’s headquarters back to New Orleans and focus on the Southeast.

There are 48 PJ’s coffee shops throughout the nation, but the majority of them are located in the New Orleans area.
