**Correction**
Last week's RestaurantChains.net report on Port City Java was incorrect. We have since been informed that the company currently has 31 locations in DC, MD, NC, NJ, and the country of Jordan. For most of the time since RestaurantChains.net has been following Port City Java, they have had an active website which changes often regarding locations opened. As a result we had an internal error in the output. RestaurantChains.net regrets the error.
