"I don't have a whole lot of details right now for Kendall Park, that's a franchise location and the owner has gone incommunicado," Brennan said in a message on Friday. "I made some phone calls and (Lee) basically didn't notify anyone, and he didn't open up, and he isn't returning any phone calls, so we're trying to figure out what's going on."
The coffeehouse opened in November 2008 offering a menu of sandwiches, soups and other items, along with desserts and coffee. Rockn' Joe also featured a variety of musical acts who performed at the location.
