Council approves lease for Crazy Fox Coffee roasting operation at 389 Academy Road
Summary
The New Market Town Council unanimously approved a lease allowing Crazy Fox Coffee Roasting Company, LLC to operate a roasting facility at 389 Academy Road. Town staff clarified the roasting operation is separate from Jackson's Corner Café.
The New Market Town Council voted Jan. 21, 2026, to approve a lease with Crazy Fox Coffee Roasting Company, LLC that will allow the business to operate a coffee-roasting operation at 389 Academy Road.
N. Garrison, Town Clerk, told the council the lease pertains only to the roasting operation and "it does not have anything to do with Jackson's Corner Café." Councilmember Bob King moved to approve the agreement; Janice Hannah seconded. The motion passed on a 4-0 roll-call vote with councilmembers Peg Harkness, Bob King, Janice Hannah and Jon Henry voting aye and Scott Wymer and Daryl Watkins absent.
The council did not receive public comment during the hearing authorized under Virginia Code §15.2-1800. The lease approval was framed as a straightforward step to enable the roasting company to occupy town property and expand operations; staff did not identify additional town financial commitments. The council's approval authorizes town staff to finalize the lease documents and move forward with occupancy arrangements.
The council's action completes the formal approval step for the lease; there was no further committee referral or added conditions recorded at the meeting.
