Full Circle on Main Street: 321 Main Gets Its Next Chapter
Historic Downtown Longmont Building at 321 Main Street Sells, Will Become January Coffee’s Second Location
Every now and then, a deal comes along that reminds us why we do this. The sale of 321 Main Street in Downtown Longmont is one of them.
Built in 1870, 321 Main is one of those buildings that makes Main Street feel like Main Street: exposed brick, high ceilings, skylights, a fireplace, and even some of its original tile flooring. For the past several years, it’s been home to Landline Doughnuts, a local favorite run by Jodi and John. This fall, they decided to move to Washington State to be closer to family, which meant the building needed a new owner and a new story.
“Landline quickly became a local favorite and a gathering spot for kids and adults alike,” said Rachel Rohrig, who represented the sellers. “It’s a bittersweet farewell.”
Here’s where it gets good.
Years ago, before Landline bought the building, another couple had their eye on 321 Main: Kristi and John Imig of January Coffee. The timing didn’t work out, so they poured their energy into their Boulder shop instead. Along the way, the two couples became friends.
Fast forward to 2026. Longmont investor Annette Smith purchased the building, represented by Annie Larner, and she brought along the perfect tenant: January Coffee. The café that once dreamed of 321 Main is finally moving in, with its second location set to open in early 2027.
“When I met Kristi and John from January Coffee, I knew they would be a wonderful addition to our community,” said Smith.
For Kristi and John, it’s a homecoming of sorts. John grew up in Boulder, but Longmont is where they live, and now it’s where they’ll pour coffee too. They’re also bringing more to the table this time, with expanded food options, a bigger drink program, and coffee education.
“We really want this to be a hub where Longmont can come together over great eats, drinks, and community,” said John Imig.
Annie, a proud Longmont local herself, summed it up: “I love Longmont and am proud to call it home. I believe the growth and vitality of our downtown will continue to attract both local and out-of-town visitors.”
At Market, we love helping build community in Longmont. Rachel put it best: “Finding the right buyer and the right user mattered deeply to all of us. We’re proud to have found both.”
A beautiful historic building, a great buyer and seller, and a local business taking its next big step add up to a deal that’s hard to beat.
Doughnuts out, coffee in. Main Street wins either way.
