"Jordan Trigg concedes he and his wife, Rina, should have seen the financial tidal wave caused by an ambitious expansion plan building in the distance. But by the time it started crashing over the couple - who owned four businesses in San Jose's historic Japantown district - it was too late to do anything but try to survive, he said."
""We made some bad decisions. We could have made some better ones," Jordan Trigg said Friday, two days after he closed Jtown Pizza Co., a vibrant eatery that had been in business for six years on North Sixth Street. On Friday night, his company, Dipsomania Inc., announced that another of its Japantown businesses, Spread Deli, would shut down after the close of business Sunday."
Jordan and Rina Trigg owned four businesses in San Jose's Japantown and faced severe financial distress after an ambitious expansion. Jtown Pizza Co. closed after six years, and Spread Deli will shut down after Sunday. The Triggs' company, Dipsomania Inc., operates the affected businesses. Trigg is attempting to keep Jack's Bar and the 7 Bamboo karaoke lounge open and to save a heavily leveraged family house in Japantown. A GoFundMe started by former councilmember Raul Peralez raised just over $50,000. Customers and community members have sent many texts, calls, and donations in support.
