The “Spot Bob” events began in 2008 and have lead Fish all throughout Michigan and beyond! While a majority of BIGGBY COFFFEE shops are within the state of Michigan, stores are also located in six other states including, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, South Carolina and Texas.

The “Big ‘B’” on the orange background caught on, and today BIGGBY COFFEE has 134 cafes open or under contract across six states including: Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, South Carolina, Wisconsin and Texas.  For more information, visit biggby.com.
