BIGGBY® COFFEE COMES TO FRANDOR AREA

Posted on March 26, 2015

BIGGBY® COFFEE OPENS ITS NEWEST LOCATION NEXT TO THE FRANDOR SHOPPING CENTER

 

East Lansing, MI, March 22, 2015 – Fresh off the celebration of its 20 year anniversary BIGGBY® COFFEE is opening its newest location right down the street from the original store. Located right next door to the Frandor Shopping Center, Michigan State’s Campus, and two parks this new location is an ideal place to stop for that “Pick-Me Up”. Out for a stroll enjoying the spring weather? Quench your thirst with your favorite BIGGBY beverage!

 

The new store, complete with a convenient drive-thru window, will open at 3335 E. Michigan Ave. in Lansing on Thursday, March 26, 2015. It will also feature free Wi-Fi and the full BIGGBY®  COFFEE menu of gourmet coffee, tea and frozen drinks.

 

Shetiah and his company own almost 30 BIGGBY® COFFEE locations throughout mid-Michigan and Ohio, and were the very first BIGGBY franchisees in the company’s system. Shetiah opened his first store in Lansing in 1997, and today also owns and operates the original location in East Lansing.

 

The store will offer specials during their grand opening week and will continue the celebration with different featured drinks each day. The store hours will be Monday- Saturday 6 a.m. – 9 p.m. and Sunday 7 a.m. – 9 p.m. Drop by BIGGBY COFFFE’s newest location and join in the celebration, located in the same plaza as Dunham’s and the Michigan Secretary of State!

 

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