In the heart of our community lay a beloved landmark – Jack’s 1 Stop. For years, Jack’s had been more than just a building; it had been a gathering place, a symbol of unity, and a repository of cherished memories. That’s why we are excited to introduce “Jack’s Is Back.” This initiative isn’t just about renovating a structure; it’s about preserving a piece of our community’s history and ensuring that Jack’s continues to be a source of pride and connection for generations to come.
Jack’s is poised to be re-opened signifying a huge step towards filling the need for a community space and home to local Black-owned and operated businesses.
Exciting plans are in motion to breathe new life into the historic “Jack’s” building and transform it into a vibrant neighborhood hub. This renovation project pays homage to the former owner’s impact on the community and sets the stage for a fresh, community-focused space. Canfield Consortium is committed to bringing amenities back into the neighborhood, bridging the gap between what residents need but leave the neighborhood to find.
Renovating the building transcends the concept of blight remediation; it’s about empowering the community, preserving its legacy, enhancing the present, and forging a path to the future. This renovation will create a neighborhood hub where residents can shop, connect, and foster a sense of community.
