Rook Coffee Roasters Expands into Long Branch with a Second Retail Location

Aug. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- August 5, 2011 (Long Branch, NJ) – After 18 months doing business in Oakhurst, Rook Coffee Roasters is expanding to open its second retail store this month in Long Branch.  A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held outside the store with Long Branch Mayor Adam Schneider on Wednesday, August 10th at 10am.
The second Rook Coffee Roasters’ store will be located in the North façade of the Siperstein’s complex at 700 Joline Avenue in Long Branch, across from the South entrance of Monmouth Park Racetrack.  The 650 sq. ft. space will be more than double the existing Oakhurst store. “It’s not just a coffee shop.  It’s an experience,” says owner Holly Migliaccio.
Siperstein’s co-owner Todd Katz says, “This is the prime location for Rook to open its second store with one of the busiest intersections in Long Branch and very adequate parking for coffee to go.” As an advocate for continued development in Long Branch, Katz is pleased to have a successful young business joining the city.

Rook owners Holly Migliaccio and Shawn Kingsley decided to add a second location as part of their targeted growth strategy. “The volume of customers and lines out the door at our Oakhurst store made us realize the time was right,” says Kingsley.
