Clarksville is adding more food and drink options near Exit 8 as development at 1243 Rossview Plaza progresses. Signs and marketing materials show three businesses lining up for space in the plaza: Mugsy’s Coffee Company, Ireh K Food and Chillville Bakery & Boba.
Veteran-owned coffee chain expanding in Clarksville
Mugsy’s Coffee Company is slated for the far-left corner of the plaza, according to on-site signage. The business is veteran-owned; Ken Poindexter is listed as the roaster and owner with his wife Tina. This would be Mugsy’s third Clarksville location, joining existing shops at 3291B Fort Campbell Blvd. and 620 Dunlop Lane. Clarksville Now reported the development and noted that the outlet had sought comment from Mugsy’s for additional details.
New Korean-style eatery and bakery advertise storefronts
Beside Mugsy’s, signage identifies Ireh K Food, described as a restaurant that will serve banchan — the small side dishes that accompany Korean meals. Clarksville Now’s coverage says Ireh K Food is expected to offer catering as well. Further marketing around Rossview Road advertises Chillville Bakery & Boba, though the plaza signage does not specify which storefront the bakery will occupy.
- Location: 1243 Rossview Plaza, off Exit 8 (Rossview Road)
- Businesses noted: Mugsy’s Coffee Company, Ireh K Food, Chillville Bakery & Boba
- Reported date of signage/development photo: July 8, 2026
“This will be Mugsy’s third location in Clarksville,” the report noted, and Clarksville Now said it had reached out to the coffee company for comment.
Local context and what to watch
Rossview Road and Exit 8 have seen steady commercial growth in recent years, drawing restaurants and service businesses that serve residents and commuters accessing Interstate 24 and nearby Fort Campbell. New openings in the plaza could add morning and lunchtime options for workers and nearby neighborhoods, and the addition of a veteran-owned coffee shop reinforces local entrepreneurial ties.
At the time of reporting, public details about specific opening dates, menus or employment opportunities were limited. Clarksville Now also reached out to Renco Construction for comment on the project. Residents interested in developments at 1243 Rossview Plaza should watch for official announcements from the businesses or property manager as build-out and permitting progress.
| Business | Noted Details |
|---|---|
| Mugsy’s Coffee Company | Veteran-owned; Ken & Tina Poindexter; existing Clarksville locations at 3291B Fort Campbell Blvd. & 620 Dunlop Lane |
| Ireh K Food | To offer banchan (Korean side dishes); expected to provide catering |
| Chillville Bakery & Boba | Advertising brand on Rossview Road; storefront in plaza not yet specified |
The arrival of these eateries would represent another step in Rossview Road’s transformation into a more varied commercial corridor. Local residents and business owners often cite convenient dining options and walkable clusters of shops as key to neighborhood vitality; the new tenants at 1243 Rossview Plaza, once open, will be a local measure of that trend.
