In 2008, the company was purchased by New Orleans natives and brothers Paul, Steven, and Scott Ballard. PJ\u2019s 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\u2019s Original Cold Brew\u2122 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 \u2013 a process and technique developed by its founder and used for more than 45 years at all PJ\u2019s locations. Bags of whole-bean coffee and single-serve cups of PJ\u2019s Coffee are available for sale in-store and online. With more than 185 operating stores, including four international locations, PJ\u2019s Coffee continues to grow in the U.S. and abroad.
