Reply to comment by YetiSherpa in Has anyone tried SCRAM cafe/bakery at Downtown JC? What should I order from them? and do you have any idea why they are only open from 8AM-12PM and are closed twice a week? Dont they need money/profit in this economy? by EksXxx
Thats precisely what I remember too, they were a food truck from the south and wanted a storefront. Prior to them coming to JC, the space was a bakery (I think called Enna? Can't remember), and prior to that it was Prato. To say they don't "Need" the establishment is a pretty bold assumption on the people who are working hard to run a small business in this city.

People who need their business to make the max amount of funds to pay rent, have great ingredients and pay employees a decent wage are open during peak hours. End of story. If not someone is getting the short end.
Have you walked down the block after 12? There are a ton of parents/ care givers looking for a mid day place before it’s time to pick the kids up, folks that work from home or just someone who wants a desert. Can you go there? No they close at 12. Forget about treats for the kids and coffee for grown folks on their way to the park.
You can barely get a rotisserie chicken at 6 pm or a parking space at 5 because this area is so crowded.
Have you been to Starbucks after work? It’s packed and they are making large amount money. You don’t just leave that on the table daily.

Look, I have nothing against Scram. I like the food and I go there when its open. It's their business. Go ahead and open something up yourself if you feel that you could be making so much money.

I actually have my own business but it doesn’t take someone being an owner to just state the obvious. I don’t care if they need the money or not. I acutely like supporting the sweet people in the corner store across the street. All I was saying is it’s a zombie business that obviously doesn’t need the cash flow.

We don't have to agree! They must be successful with their condensed hours, maybe they do things outside of it too.

What are you saying different from what I’m saying? We are both saying they don’t need the additional hours to keep the business going.
