“To make an impact by simply donating coffee or our time and what that can do for an organization has been so rewarding,” Rector said. He noted that the most rewarding thing about the past 10 years is “seeing hundreds of employees who have come through our doors and ten years later seeing some of those same former employees making a difference in our community and living a life they love. Not just our employees, but it has been rewarding seeing the impact of our passion for the community and the amazing organizations we have been able to be a part of and help in their missions.”

Be sure to stop in to one of the Lima BIGGBY® COFFEEs, at 717 N. Cable Road or 1519 Harding Hwy., on February 8 and celebrate with Rector, Rector Fultz and their team as they celebrate the last 10 years and gear up to serve their community for another 10 years!

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 customer’s day and supporting them in building a life they love. The “Big ‘B’” on the orange background caught on, and today BIGGBY^® COFFEE has 281 cafes open or under contract across 10 states including: Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Florida, Texas, and New Jersey. In 2018, BIGGBY^® launched an Area Representative Program and currently has 8 area representatives in 6 states.
