EAST LANSING, MICH., May 5, 2014 – BIGGBY^® COFFEE in Berkley, Mich. flings its doors open May 6, with a grand opening at 3600 West 12 Mile Rd. This is one of three stores opening in Michigan during the month of May.

The new location is managed by Edmond Metko. He has long been a fanatic of BIGGBY^® and dreamt of the day he would own his own store.

I was also fascinated with the process of bringing fresh coffee beans from far away lands into the BIGGBY^® cup in all sorts of delicious flavors,” said Metko.

Metko is ecstatic about opening his store to the community. He cannot to see his customer’s smiling faces every morning as they enjoy their favorite cup of coffee.

“We are very excited to open a BIGGBY^® store in Berkley. I love this community and people stop by every day asking when we are opening. They already love BIGGBY^®COFFEE, so we’re happy to give them the best coffee in the world,” said Metko.

About BIGGBY^® COFFEE

East Lansing, Mich.-based BIGGBY^® COFFEE 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 his business partner Michael McFall, on a handshake and $3,000, decided to franchise the concept. BIGGBY^® COFFEE’s core values of B happy, have fun, make friends, love people and drink great coffee help coffee-lovers and the coffee-curious alike benefit from a less pretentious and fun approach to the standard gourmet café 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. The “Big ‘B’” on the orange background caught on, and today BIGGBY^® COFFEE has 216 cafes open or under contract across nine states including: Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Florida and Texas.
