Talking coffee and tea with Jack Groot
Jack Groot is the founder and owner JP’s Coffee in Holland MI. Although the staff enjoys
him best when not “behind the bar”, he still leads a group of dedicated team members.
Jack’s current focus is consulting: helping individuals create, open, improve and operate
successful operations in the highly competitive retail coffee industry. He also writes a
monthly column, Jack’s Blend, for the coffee industry’s premier publication, the Specialty
Coffee Retailer. Those, along with a wife, kids and a manipulative Jack Russell Terrier
named Murphy, occupy his time.
