In Popular Culture
Although unknown to a large segment of the U.S. population, It's A Grind has received exposure on the Showtime television series Weeds through product placement deals. It is featured in the show's opening credits, and characters on the show often are seen drinking from the store's cups.
A song written and performed by Chris Arbisi and Frank Simms (the voice of "Kool-Aid Man") called, "Its a Grind", plays in all of the stores nationwide along with other jazz and blues tunes typically played at most coffee shops. The pair originally wrote the song for an appearance at an "Its a Grind" grand opening in Robbinsville, NJ in January 2008.
