Emmons Avenue’s Jumpin’ Bean Closes After Less Than Six Months
The much-anticipated Mexican-inspired eatery Jumpin’ Bean turned out to be a flop, closing its doors for good after less than six months in business.
Located at 3081 Emmons Avenue, the business had a troubled start. They planned for an October 2012 opening, but Sandy obliterated the interior, forcing them to start from scratch. After rebuilding, they finally opened in May to the delight of Latino cuisine lovers.
Unfortunately, they stumbled. Early reviews from our readers were not favorable. As time went on, most of their senior staff, including their general manager, went out the door.
The Department of Health closed the business in mid-September due to excessive health violations found during an inspection. They were reinspected a few days later and permitted to reopen. It’s unclear if they ever did, and now signage has been stripped from the building, as seen in the above photo sent to us by Bob D.
