New operating procedures designed to preserve the health of customers and employees
June 12, 2020 (EAST LANSING, MI) - BIGGBY® COFFEE is committed to curbing the spread of COVID-19 in the communities we serve and love so much. The health and safety of our BIGGBY® Family, including the guests and baristas that make it so special, are our highest priority. For that reason, the next visit to your neighborhood BIGGBY® COFFEE cafe may look a little different.
BIGGBY® COFFEE cafes around the country have instituted new operating guidelines, implemented to preserve the wellbeing of our communities as we continue to serve you with love:
- Increasing sanitation and cleaning procedures throughout all of our locations
- Requiring regular health screenings for all employees and vendors
- Limiting lobby capacity based on state requirements
- Placing tables at least 6 feet apart to maintain social distancing and adding social distancing markings
- Installing plexiglass shields at all customer-facing areas in most locations
- Revising standard operating procedures to limit contact with orders, where possible
- Asking all employees and customers to wear masks while inside the store (required in some states, but strongly encouraged for all guests)
- Offering touchless payment options at our credit card readers
- Recommending customers use the BIGGBY® App for rewards points, rather than their physical card
- Removing self-serve areas like brewed coffee, retail coffee bins and condiments (simply let your barista know if you need any of these items!)
- No longer offering refills on customer’s mugs and cups that have been previously used
- Offering curbside pick-up at select locations
- Partnering with DoorDash to offer delivery at select locations
These measures were instituted in alignment with the best practice recommendations and guidelines laid out by federal, state and local health experts and authorities. We appreciate your understanding during these unprecedented times and we look forward to serving you with love!

About BIGGBY® COFFEE
BIGGBY® COFFEE, East Lansing, Mich.-based, was started with a single store on March 15, 1995. One year later, and on the cusp of opening a second location, Bob Fish and Michael McFall, on a handshake and $4,000, decided to franchise the concept. BIGGBY® COFFEE’s cultural values of Make Friends, Have Fun, B Yourself, and Share Great Coffee help coffee-lovers and the coffee-curious alike benefit from a less pretentious and fun approach to the standard gourmet cafe paradigm. Besides connoisseur-worthy drinks with pronounceable names like Teddy Bear® and Caramel Marvel®, BIGGBY® baristas provide a unique experience focused on brightening their customers’ day and supporting them in building a life they love. The “Big ‘B’” on the orange background caught on, and today BIGGBY® COFFEE has more than 230 cafes across many states including Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Kentucky, and Florida. In 2018, BIGGBY® launched an Area Representative Program and currently has 8 Area Representatives in 6 states.
