May 21, 2024 // Franchising.com // NEW ORLEANS - PJ’s Coffee will reserve a special single table throughout Memorial Day weekend in honor of U.S. military heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.
With a long history of supporting U.S. military service members, all PJ’s Coffee locations — over 180 systemwide — will participate in the initiative, reserving a table for fallen, missing, or imprisoned military service members. Each table will feature an item that signifies the importance of their sacrifice, including:
“At PJ’s Coffee, we stand firm in our commitment to supporting U.S. veterans and active military personnel in every capacity possible,” said President of PJ’s Coffee and U.S. Army veteran Peter Boylan. “Our hearts and prayers are with every family commemorating a lost loved one this Memorial Day. It is our fervent hope that these reserved tables serve as poignant reminders of the profound significance of this sacred national observance.”
Boylan is one of several U.S. veterans among other active military family members and franchisees who call PJ’s Coffee their work family. As a longtime member of the International Franchise Association VetFran, the New Orleans-born coffeehouse takes pride in its military roots, annually awarding a franchise to a U.S. veteran.
