Some people like coffee. Some people love coffee. And some people need coffee.
But for former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Arrelious Benn and his wife, Mariel, coffee is a way of life.
Mariel grew up in the Dominican Republic, where coffee is as robust as the people making it. Arrelious knew that when he retired from football, he wanted to put his Master of Business Administration degree to use and give back to the Jacksonville community that ended up being the final leg of his eight-year NFL journey.
Put them together and Social House Coffee opened its doors in February 2020 — and it shows absolutely no signs of slowing down.
