JFG Coffee was started in Knoxville in 1919. For many decades, they were located in several buildings in the Jackson Avenue Warehouse District, an area that today is known as Knoxville's Old City.
The main factory building has a large JFG sign atop it. The sign has the company's slogan atop a steaming cup of coffee. The sign still lights up at nights, although many of the bulbs are out.
JFG is now owned by Luzienne Tea and not located here anymore. This area of Old City is a popular spot for loft apartments and this building is today the JFG Flats.
