Excerpt: “Jacksonville Cars & Coffee has enjoyed strong support from the close-knit North Florida automotive enthusiast community for more than a decade. Long-time fans and attendees should expect the same family-friendly flavor at Caffeine and Octane Jacksonville.
Caffeine and Octane CEO, Bruce Piefke, and the Founder of Jacksonville (First Coast) Car Culture, Chris Brewer team up to bring the all makes, all models Caffeine and Octane brand to the Jacksonville car community. “It is an exciting time for Northeast Florida’s automotive community. July’s show feels like a long-awaited family reunion,” Brewer said. “Our goal is to create a safe, welcoming environment that allows enthusiasts to showcase their incredible vehicles. Partnering with Caffeine and Octane, the talented folks behind the nationally recognized monthly car show in Atlanta and the popular NBCSN television program, will bring Jacksonville’s event to the next level and beyond.”
“We’re excited to partner with Chris and his team,” said Bruce Piefke, Caffeine and Octane CEO and producer. “And this is a true partnership. We’ll share marketing and other resources and pool our experience and knowledge to make sure we don’t lose what has made Jacksonville Car Culture’s events great.” Piefke said he and his team are looking forward to meeting an expanded pool of car, truck, and motorcycle owners and hearing their stories.
The “Caffeine and Octane” TV show team, led by Executive Producer Ed Coughlin, will occasionally attend future Caffeine and Octane Jacksonville events to capture those stories and create vibrant content for the popular TV show on the NBC Sports Network.”
