ChaHalo Tea, a bubble tea brand out of New York City, has signed a lease at 358-362 Grove Street in the heart of Downtown Jersey City. The 500 square foot space sits just two blocks from the Grove Street PATH station, putting ChaHalo Tea in one of the most walkable and heavily trafficked retail corridors in the city.
A Flagship Spot in Jersey City’s Trendiest Corridor
Grove Street has become one of Jersey City’s most sought after retail addresses, and this storefront puts ChaHalo Tea right in the middle of it. The space offers 15 feet of frontage and sits along a stretch of Grove Street that regularly draws crowds for farmers markets, street fairs, and restaurant week celebrations, all practically at the new location’s doorstep.
The block is already home to a strong mix of neighboring businesses, including Wonder, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, Mathews Food & Drink, CityMD Urgent Care, and Tony Boloney’s, giving ChaHalo Tea plenty of built in foot traffic to tap into from day one. The broader area also benefits from major retailers nearby, including Target, ShopRite, Whole Foods, BJ’s, and the shops at Newport Centre, all within a short distance of the new location.
Why the Location Works for a Brand Like ChaHalo Tea
The surrounding demographics help explain why a New York City based concept chose to expand into this particular block. Within a half mile of the property, the average household income runs well above $235,000, and the area’s daytime population swells to nearly 22,000 people thanks to the dense mix of residents and office workers nearby. Expand that to a one mile radius and the average household income remains strong at over $231,000 across a population of nearly 58,400.
That kind of spending power, paired with heavy pedestrian traffic from the Grove Street PATH station, makes the block a natural fit for a quick service concept built around repeat visits.
About the Space
The unit is being delivered with 10 foot ceilings, one bathroom, and outdoor seating available, all under an NNN lease structure. The building is zoned NC-1 Neighborhood Commercial, which supports a wide range of ground floor uses, including restaurants, cafes, and retail, consistent with the kind of walkable, mixed use corridor Grove Street has become known for.
ChaHalo Tea’s arrival adds another strong name to a Grove Street retail lineup that continues to attract national and regional brands looking for a foothold in Downtown Jersey City.
