BIGGBY® COFFEE Celebrates 28 Signed Franchise Agreements in Q2, Aims for Further Growth in 2021

The brand retained a strong connection to its franchisees and their communities during the challenges of the pandemic and has opened 11 new locations since April 1, 2021.

 

During a year of lockdowns, shutdowns and curfews, BIGGBY® COFFEE, the 250-plus unit coffee franchise, never lost its focus on loving unconditionally and supporting others. As a brand known for its dedication to its franchisees, BIGGBY® COFFEE navigated the pandemic by doubling down on its franchisee support structure, maintaining close connections with franchisees and meeting the needs of its customers.
The brand’s resilience was also evident in the growth it experienced in the second quarter of this year. Since April 1st, BIGGBY® COFFEE has signed 28 franchise agreements and celebrated 11 openings. Of those 28 franchise signings, eight were with existing franchise owners.
“Our primary goal is to support our franchisees,” said Bob Fish, co-CEO and co-founder of the brand. “We believe our close connections with our franchisees, employees and communities inspired the majority of our growth during the pandemic.”
