EPISCOPE HOSPITALITY TO DEBUT NEW CULINARY DESTINATION IN NEW JERSEY
Keepers and Keepers Coffee Set to Open in Harrison’s Riverbend District, Spring 2025
Harrison, N.J. -- Episcope Hospitality -- led by David Morton of the renowned Morton’s Steakhouse family, Ryan Gaudin, and Daniel Orrison -- is thrilled to announce the construction of Keepers and Keepers Coffee, two new culinary concepts set to open in Harrison, New Jersey in spring 2025. Situated directly across from Sports Illustrated Stadium within the Riverbend District, a lively 35-acre mixed-use neighborhood developed by Advance Realty Investors, this exciting addition is designed to be a vibrant centerpiece of the community, offering an inviting atmosphere for daily gatherings and gameday celebrations.
A collaboration with Advance Realty Investors, Keepers and Keepers Coffee will occupy the street-level retail space of The Wyldes, the latest luxury rental property within the Riverbend District. Together, the restaurant and café will offer a dynamic all-day dining experience. Breakfast offerings will include premium coffee, fresh pastries, and convenient grab-and-go items tailored for commuters. For lunch, diners can enjoy a selection of American favorites such as gourmet burgers and fresh-made salads. The dinner menu will elevate comfort food classics with refined touches, accompanied by craft cocktails and a curated selection of local beers, creating the perfect atmosphere for any occasion.
“Keepers is designed to be more than just a restaurant; it’s a community hub,” said Daniel Orrison, Partner at Episcope Hospitality. “Our location next to Sports Illustrated Stadium and partnership with Advance Realty allow us to create a destination where residents and visitors can come together—whether it’s for a pre-game meal, a post-work cocktail, or to connect with neighbors and friends.”
The restaurant’s design will reflect timeless American style with a modern twist, creating a warm and inviting environment. Keepers will also feature a private event space fit to host up to 50 guests, making it ideal for private gatherings, gameday celebrations, and corporate meetings.
