May 26, 2026 // Franchising.com // ROGERS, Ark. – PJ’s Coffee, the New Orleans-born brand known for its small-batch roasting process and Southern hospitality, is continuing its expansion across the Natural State with its first Northwest Arkansas location opening June 1 in Rogers at 1803 South 46th St., Suite 101, in the Summit shopping center.
Positioned near the Razorback Greenway, the new café is designed to fit seamlessly into the community’s active, on-the-go lifestyle — serving as a convenient stop for morning coffee runs, post-trail pick-me-ups and casual meetups alike. Guests can settle in with indoor seating and an outdoor patio while enjoying PJ’s specialized lineup of cold brew, espresso-based beverages, frozen coffees and warm, made-to-order beignets alongside breakfast offerings suited for busy mornings.
This Rogers café marks the first PJ’s Coffee location for local franchisees Bo and Ricci Grimes, who plan to continue growing the brand throughout the region. Originally from Louisiana, Bo had long been familiar with PJ’s and saw an opportunity to bring a taste of home to Rogers through the brand’s premium roast, welcoming atmosphere and neighborhood feel.
“Northwest Arkansas reminds me a lot of what people love about Louisiana — there’s a real sense of pride in local businesses and places where people choose to spend time together,” Bo Grimes said. “We wanted to create a space that feels relaxed and welcoming, whether you’re heading to the trails, meeting friends after shopping or grabbing coffee on your way to work. PJ’s has always been about more than coffee itself, and we’re excited to bring that experience to Rogers.”
Construction on the store is now complete, and additional details, including grand opening festivities and a local partnership, will be announced at a later date.
The beloved coffee brand now boasts more than 185 locations nationwide, with this opening marking its third location in Arkansas. To learn more about PJ’s Coffee and its extensive menu options, visit pjscoffee.com.
Phyllis Jordan, a pioneer in the coffee industry, founded PJ’s Coffee of New Orleans in 1978 and demonstrated that better beans, superior roasting techniques and pure passion for the art of coffee-making mattered. In 2008, the company was purchased by New Orleans natives and brothers Paul, Steven, and Scott Ballard. PJ’s Coffee serves a wide variety of hot, iced and frozen coffee beverages using only the best quality Arabica coffee beans, as well as organic tea and fresh breakfast pastries. PJ’s Original Cold Brew™ Iced Coffee is brewed daily using a special cold-drip process that protects the flavor and strength of the beans while producing a coffee that is two-thirds less acidic — a process and technique developed by its founder and used for more than 45 years at all PJ’s locations. Bags of whole-bean coffee and single-serve cups of PJ’s Coffee are available for sale in-store and online. With more than 185 operating stores, including four international locations, PJ’s Coffee continues to grow in the U.S. and abroad.
