New coffee shop is opening this weekend in downtown Tuscaloosa

Just Love Coffee, founded in 2009 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, is coming to the former space of O’Henry’s Coffees in the Downtown Rock Point development at the corner of Lurleen Wallace Boulevard North and University Boulevard.

O’Henry’s Coffees of Birmingham, which was the first business to open a franchise in the mixed-use development in 2016, closed last year after the ongoing Lurleen Wallace Boulevard construction limited its ability to attract customers.

“Things just happen sometimes,”  said O’Henry’s Coffees owner Randy Adamy in August 2019, “and you kind of lick your wounds, put your tail between your legs and leave town.”

Now, the space will be filled by a new Just Love Coffee franchise that will be owned and managed by University of Alabama graduates Jack and Alex Roberts.
