241 Rogers (aka 1130 - 1136 President St) is about to become a coffee shop: Marker Coffee

It may still be open.

However, it was recently listed for rent:

And, someone filed a request to have an initial kitchen inspection

...Which makes me believe something new is coming.

Here's a more recent streetview: http://goo.gl/maps/AKOJS

Interior shots can now be viewed on the above twitter account. Also, I suspect this ad for employees is from them:

"Upscale Coffee Shop in Crown Heights has openings for counter staff.

Heres what we are looking for:

Reliable, focused folks who can commit to a steady opening shift 3-5 days a week.

You gotta have a NYC Food Handlers Certificate (Its only a few hours online to get one, but this is non-negotiable).

You should have retail food service experience - with an understand of FIFO, how to monitor expiration dates, conduct inventory, maintain product presentation & keep an immaculate workspace.

You should have great personal skills and the ability to greet customers warmly and provide excellent service.

You need to be quick and focused on moving lines and making sure that customers are not kept waiting.

We are a growing company looking to hire reliable staff that are interested in a steady and stable position working in a beautiful environment."

They seem as if they might open within 2 weeks.

They are now reportedly awaiting DOH inspection.

If they pass, they will open right afterword.

When the Armory plans are finally announced, many potential business will become a lot more confident.
