LANSING, Mich., July 13,
2010 – Coffee-lovers throughout the
Midwest have a new tool for sizing up their drink orders this summer in the
form of a mobile phone-optimized website from BIGGBY COFFEE. The new site allows customers to compare
nutritional information for “regular” and “reduced calorie” varieties of the
retailer’s signature drinks from the palm of their hand. The menu function can
be viewed anytime, anywhere by mobile phone users visiting www.biggby.com.
The
entire BIGGBY COFFEE menu—from sweet and creamy favorites like the Butter Bear
or Caramel Marvel, to frozen lattes like the Frozen Nutty Buddy and cold smoothie
favorites like the Orange Creme Freeze—can be made in reduced calorie versions.
Customers
who opt for reduced calorie varieties often cut calories and fat by 30-50%,
without sacrificing any of the decadent appeal that has made BIGGBY COFFEE the
region’s favorite coffee retailer.
“It’s
all about choice for us,” said Bob Fish, founder and CEO of BIGGBY COFFEE. “A lot
of our customers might take a regular Teddy Bear in the morning, but the
afternoon creme freeze is a reduced calorie version so they can balance the
day’s calories a little better. We
simply want to make it even easier for BIGGBY COFFEE customers to know what
choices they have, and that’s a good thing for everyone, regardless of whether
you’re on a calorie or sugar-restrictive diet or not.”
BIGGBY
COFFEE has plans to add additional features to its mobile-optimized website in
the future, including frequency program and E-ward integration.
