SPOT BIGGBY BOB EVENT COMES TO PORTAGE, OFFERS FREE DRINKS!


BIGGBY Bob will buy you your favorite beverage from 8-10 a.m.at 6800 S. Westnedge location

 

PORTAGE, MI., NOV. 1, 2011 – The excitement is mounting as BIGGBY COFFEE CEO and co-founder, Bob Fish, gets ready to treat the customers of BIGGBY at 6800 South Westnedge Ave. in Portage (across from Target) to a free drink of their choice on Thursday, Nov. 10th from 8-10 a.m.

 

The event will mark Bob’s latest adventure in his SPOT BIGGBY BOB expedition, which began three years ago and takes him to a different BIGGBY store each month! For two fun-filled hours only, Bob buys each and every customer in the store the drink of their choice regardless of size or flavor!

 

“These events give me a chance to meet some really amazing customers and to hear them share their BIGGBY stories,” Fish said. “I am really looking forward to visiting this store, which was the first in the greater Kalamazoo area and has been a part of the BIGGBY family for almost a decade. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to visit with some our customers who have been cheering for us since the beginning,” Fish said.

 

Along with the free drinks, store owner/operator, Raj Joshi will also be offering special coupons valid for the following week for discounts on drinks and BIGGBY COFFEE merchandise.

 

“We are so excited to have Bob here and with the holidays coming up, we wanted to offer a little extra something for our customers,” Joshi said. “We will have our seasonal holiday drinks back, such as the Peppermint Stick Mocha, which is a favorite this time of year.  It’s always nice to see our customers leave the store with a smile and Bob and I hope we can do that for everyone during this event."

The “Big ‘B’” on the orange background caught on, and today BIGGBY COFFEE has 136 cafes open or under contract across six states including: Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, South Carolina, Wisconsin and Texas.  For more information, visit biggby.com.
