The opening of JoJo’s, an Italian restaurant in the former Tru Blu Social Club, has been postponed to about mid-September due to shipping delays for items such as furniture and difficulties hiring enough people to properly staff the restaurant, a member of the ownership group said.

Stephan Hesse, a co-owner of Eclectic Culinary Concepts, the restaurant group that owns JoJo’s and Fargo’s Lucky’s 13 Pub near the West Acres mall, said opening JoJo’s at 915 13th Ave. E. will require some flexibility and creativity. “We’ll just pivot with what we have,” Hesse said in a recent interview with The Pioneer.
