Restaurant Owner
I’m Jordan Kolod. I opened Afton Tavern in concord with my mom in November 2010. We expanded to Afton Pub & Pizza in August 2013. I bought Afton Pub & Pizza from her in 2022. At Afton Pub & Pizza we pride our self on quality and fresh ingredients, we have a team we treat like family, and my main goal in life is to feed people. I’ve been working in the restaurant industry for 18 years. I have 3 kids (Marley, Alex, and Theo) and the best husband on earth, Nick. I’m really passionate about the Pub it Forward program and we’re hoping to make a big difference. Using community support to make sure anybody who is hungry can be fed. I always say I don’t have a ton of money but I can’t try to profit on selling food while other people are hungry.
