Now Serving Brunch

At Mojo Coffee House, you can drink a cup of joe or eat a “hip-hop” brunch. The New Orleans business is owned by Angie and Demian Jackson, a couple who were turned down for a loan at a bank when they first tried to expand. “At the time, it was tough to get a loan, but we had to grow. It was sink or swim,” Angie said. HOPE helped them, approving a loan to expand the coffee house by adding a kitchen and doubling the seating capacity. The couple learned about HOPE through the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Initiative. HOPE is the program’s lender in the South.
