>Commons Grounds Cafe, another small Connecticut chain, bought three of New Haven’s four Blue State Coffee locations in October 2022 on Wall Street, York Street, and Congress Avenue. Blue State’s location at 534 Orange Street will remain in business.

>Blue State Coffee was founded in 2004 by Andrew Ruben ’11, LAW ’17. His mother, Chief Executive Officer Carolyn Greenspan, led the chain’s expansion to six locations across New England. But now, she said, is the right time to move on and focus on other projects.
