The long and winding battle of KJB Specialties, a business owned by the family of Jacksonville City Councilwoman Katrina Brown, may be reaching a denouement.

In response to a foreclosure action was filed in Duval County by Florida Capital Bank on a property associated with “KJB Specialties.”, KJB filed a motion this week to extend time to file a responsive pleading.

Councilwoman Brown was a managing partner of KJB through January, though she has since been removed from the Sunbiz listing for the business

The property, located at 1551 W. Edgewood Avenue, corresponds to the location of “Jerome Brown BBQ.”

KJB owes $100,902 on its note.

The Browns — Jerome Brown and JoAnn Brown — had that motion filed by Jason Burgess, a Jacksonville-area attorney specializing in bankruptcy cases.

The Brown family businesses have had a rough decade, with CoWealth LLC, another in their group of nebulously named companies, being sued by the city of Jacksonville for failing to create jobs in a 2011 economic development agreement intended to help the Browns take their BBQ sauce business to the next level.

Katrina Brown is still listed as a registered agent of CoWealth.
