After teaming up with local Jackson Coffee shop Coffee Choices and owner Susan Reiter for the Urban Legend blend, David\u2019s ECC (and EMP) partner Thom Hazaert suggested taking the partnership farther.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne day Susan and I had a conversation about the idea of sort of re-branding Coffee Choices into something more aligned with the ECC brand, and us coming in as partners,\u201d says Hazaert. \u201cI pitched the idea to David, we had already discussed the idea of opening a brick and mortar outlet maybe in Phoenix, and we all loved the idea, being David\u2019s hometown, and Susan\u2019s amazing history in Jackson, and her experience running Coffee Choices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adds Ellefson, \u201cI\u2019ve been blessed to travel the world year after year as a musician but my roots have always stayed in Jackson, MN. So, it\u2019s a true honor for our coffee brand to have a retail shop on the main street USA I grew up on, and to serve the very community I was born and raised in. Aside from some great coffee and a fun Rock N\u2019 Roll atmosphere, our store is a go-to destination for coffee that also tells my story of heavy metal and global music history. I look forward to seeing you there!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first day of business officially as Ellefson Coffee Co. will be Monday, January 10th, with a grand opening coming later in the Spring.
