JACKSONVILLE, Fla Downtown development looks different to everyone. For Downtown Jacksonville, we often hear of big plans that don’t go far.
Sometimes it’s the small developments that can revitalize an area.
Crazy Beans Coffee is in Jacksonville Regional Transportation Center. It’s in an area of town where there aren’t any other coffee shops or retail stores to walk to.
Crazy Beans Coffee opened its breakfast and lunch cafe April 6 on the ground floor of the Jacksonville Regional Transportation Center in LaVilla nearly two months after closing its doors in Fleming Island.
Representatives from the family-owned chain and Jacksonville Transportation Authority officials attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony inside the JRTC.
“Crazy Beans is not just coffee, it’s a culture,” Crazy Beans co-owners Edgar and Herbert Bartley said in a news release April 6.
JTA CEO Nathaniel Ford said the transportation authority is “proud to support a small, local and minority-owned business” investing in the historic LaVilla neighborhood.
“The Crazy Beans Coffee café further enhances the experience for the thousands of customers who use this terminal each day, and the nearly 800 JTA employees who work out of our campuses,” he said.
