Located at 759 Horizon Drive, Octopus Coffee has been a cherished part of the local community, known for its cozy atmosphere and exceptional brews.

As the closing date approaches, now is an excellent time for patrons to visit, enjoy their favorite drinks, and support this local gem before it bids farewell to the neighborhood.

Why is Grand Junction's Octopus Coffee Closing?

According to a recent post on social media, Octopus Coffee, a beloved coffee shop in our community, has received troubling news: their landlord has decided not to renew their lease. This decision has prompted the owners to reflect on their past experiences, particularly a similar situation they faced in 2009, which has fueled their concerns.

Despite their proactive efforts throughout the summer to find a new location for their 10-year-old business, the owners have expressed deep apprehension about the viability of relocating.

The ongoing economic challenges have created an uncertain environment, making it difficult for them to envision a successful move. They worry that the combination of relocation expenses and the current market conditions could jeopardize their business's survival.

The original vision for Octopus Coffee was to build a thriving establishment that not only served high-quality beverages but also fostered a sense of community. Ultimately, they hoped to pass on their successful business to new owners when the time came for them to retire. Unfortunately, with the lease not being renewed, this dream now seems unlikely to materialize.

In light of these circumstances, it’s more important than ever for our community to rally around Octopus Coffee. This woman-owned business has been a cherished part of our local landscape, and showing our support during this challenging time can make a significant difference.

Whether through visits, words of encouragement, or sharing their story, let’s ensure they feel the love and appreciation our community holds for them as they embark on this uncertain journey.
