A third-generation coffee company is putting down roots in Germantown. Ramblin' Joe's Coffee plans to open its sixth location at 1227 S. Germantown Road in October, moving into a building that used to house a Simmons Bank branch.

Company history traces Ramblin' Joe's founding to 1971, when it started as a family-owned operation that has since passed to a third generation, per the company's own history. The brand was previously known as Ugly Mug, according to the Daily Memphian.

What's Coming to the Former Bank Building

The former bank building is planned to house the Germantown cafe.

Founder David Lambert and operations director Megan Lambert are part of the company.

Bigger Plans Beyond Germantown

The company operates both cafes and a coffee roasting and distribution business.

Ramblin' Joe's company history traces its founding to 1971, and the Germantown cafe would be its sixth location.

The Germantown cafe is expected to open in October.
