True to its name, Chicago-based On the Go Jo Coffee has been keeping one step ahead of the pandemic.
The Black women-owned and operated company that made its mark providing stylish catered coffee service for corporate and community events throughout 2019 has maintained some service on the go, but it’s also now catering to the stay-at-home crowd through a new line of roasted coffee and related products.
“Just like everyone in the event and hospitality space, we were hugely affected by the pandemic,” Crystal Graham, who founded the business along with friends Toni Dale and Quiana DeBerry, recently told DCN. “Due to the statewide mandates, we adjusted the catering side of our business significantly. We pivoted by offering drop-off service and accepting smaller socially distanced outdoor events.”
