ADD ANOTHER STAR TO THE BIGGBY® NATION FLAG WITH A NEW STORE OPENING

 

BIGGBY® COFFEE opens another location in Grand Rapids, Mich.

 

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., August 18, 2014 – Grabbing your caffeine fix just got even easier thanks to the newest BIGGBY®COFFEE location opening in Grand Rapids (located at 2030 Lake Michigan Dr, NW).

 

They will celebrate their grand opening during the week of August 18th! This store marks the fourth BIGGBY® COFFEE location for owner/operator, Tim Hoffman.

 

“I have three stores already open, and am very excited to continue growing with BIGGBY® and to be part of this community,” said Hoffman. “I love the core values of BIGGBY®COFFEE – B happy, have fun, make friends, love people and drink great coffee!”

 

Along with free Wi-Fi and plenty of tables for studying, the location will be open 7 days a week from 6am to 10pm. Make sure to stop in and say hello to one of the store managers, Rebekah Behrens or Marlena Lalick, and the rest of the team. Fundraising opportunities for schools and church groups are also available and encouraged.

 

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 224 cafes open or under contract across nine states including: Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Florida and Texas.
