Summer Scozzari opened 910 Coffee on Henderson Drive in 2023 and she’s preparing to open a second location in the Southwest community.
Scozzari was born and raised in Jacksonville and is a graduate of Southwest High School. She’s a single mom and owns several local businesses, including Anew Hearing Care and The Tiny Hiney Rescue. She also recently purchased the old Spanky’s building on Onslow Drive, which she’s working to revamp.
“I think that maybe owning businesses and adding another one maybe gives me an adrenaline rush,” Scozzari said.
Recently, Scozzari launched 910 Coffee’s mobile trailer, something she’s been wanting to do for some time in order to offer 910 Coffee at local events.
Her ultimate goal has been to open additional brick-and-mortar locations, especially as her current shop, at 1124 Henderson Drive, does not have a drive thru. That’s what led her to decide to open a second 910 Coffee at 609 Richlands Hwy in Jacksonville, next to TLC Tanning Spa and Bowtique.
“I live out in Southwest, and I’ve always wanted one closer to me, closer to my family, and I’ve had a lot of people ask for it,” Scozzari said. “So, here we go.”
The Southwest-area 910 Coffee should open by mid-May, Scozzari said. She also hopes to open more locations in Onslow County, including Sneads Ferry.
She said she’s grateful and blessed to be able to do what she does and encourages residents to support local businesses and other women to take risks.
“I don’t want women, specifically, to feel like they’re stuck in a box and can’t do things,” Scozzari said. “You have to take the risk. Once you do it, you love it.”
The Henderson Drive location of 910 Coffee is open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
