James Oliver opening coffee shops in Woodbridge, Brush Park

Catch up quick: The brand originally began roasting in New Hampshire in the 1990s. The daughter and son-in-law of the founders moved it to Detroit.

• The Detroit business, known for coffee and bagels, opened its first location in the former Detroit Institute of Bagels store in Corktown.
• Its other open location is in the Guardian Building downtown.

What's next: The Brush Park spot should open this month, and a Woodbridge location is expected to follow later this year, Crain's reports.

The intrigue: The close-knit coffee shop expansion reminds us a bit of Red Hook, which has locations in Midtown, West Village and near the riverfront, plus Ferndale.
