Jet City Espresso is about ready to brew its last cup of coffee.

Owner Debbie Natelson was told by the building’s owners just before Thanksgiving that her lease will be over as of the end of the year.

Jet City has faced this fate before, in 2008, when the property owners were planning for a major redevelopment of her part of Main Avenue. To prepare for closing or moving, Natelson auctioned some of the treasures she and husband Paul Rollinger collected over the years.

But the redevelopment never happened, and Jet City stayed put. Her business has suffered because of the recession, a perception her shop had closed and  the addition of new coffee shops downtown.

Her landlords indicated to her another business will occupy the building; they couldn’t be reached for comment this week.

She has owned Jet City Expresso for almost 22 years. “It’s like your child,” she said.

Natelson will continue to sell espresso and other treats until she closes. She’s also selling many of those treasures in her shop. Jet City is open seven days a week, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., although it’s more likely 9 a.m. on Sunday. Jet City is at 207 Main Ave. S.

She’s uncertain about Jet City’s future. Opening in another location is a possibility but it’s expensive and in the meantime, customers are lost, she said.
