Leading New Orleans-based coffee chain to establish a strong presence in the Big Peach
With a commitment to bringing the authentic taste of New Orleans to coffee enthusiasts nationwide, PJ’s Coffee is paving the way in the Atlanta metropolitan area with a dozen locations in development to open in the next seven years.
“Our expansion into Atlanta represents a game-changing opportunity to share PJ’s unique flavors with a vibrant community that values Southern hospitality and exceptional coffee,” said PJ’s Coffee Franchise Development Manager Lory Schwartz. “The city’s dynamic economy, strong coffee culture and affinity for innovation make it the perfect place for our next chapter of growth.”
The leading coffee chain renowned for its New Orleans-inspired hospitality and premium coffee has partnered with an experienced local franchise family with deep ties to the Atlanta community to introduce 10 locations in the area, combined with two additional locations planned by existing PJ’s franchisees.
With a population exceeding five million and a well-established coffee culture, the Atlanta metro area offers a significant growth opportunity for PJ’s Coffee. The brand envisions a future with over 75 PJ’s Coffee locations throughout the Atlanta metro area, making it a cornerstone of PJ’s national growth strategy.
Georgia currently hosts a PJ’s Coffee location in Greensboro and construction will soon begin for its next one in Rome. With over 185 locations operating systemwide and over 100 more in the pipeline, PJ’s Coffee anticipates significant growth in the Southeast.
PJ’s Coffee is actively recruiting franchisees to join its mission, contribute to the thriving coffee culture, explore growth potential and create a community-focused business that fosters connections and guest loyalty.

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 coffeemaking 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 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.
