BIGGBY® COFFEE EXPANDS THE COMMERCE TWP FAMILY (Keegan and Team!)

Posted on May 5, 2015

BIGGBY® COFFEE IS OPENING TWO NEW LOCATIONS TODAY in Commerce Township one of which is on the corner of Maple and Welch in Maple Park Plaza.

 

COMMERCE TOWNSHIP, MI, 5/5/2015 – The doors open today at a brand new BIGGBY® COFFEE, one of two new locations opening in Commerce Township. Keegan Piro has been part of the BIGGBY® Nation for over 12 years. Starting as a barista in her parents Lansing store, Keegan has always wanted to open a BIGGBY® of her very own. Tomorrow that dream becomes a reality and Keegan is super excited!! “We open at 6AM on May 5th and we can't wait to serve you!” Keegan said. Keegan will run the store right now with a long term goal of finding a local manager to take over so she can open more BIGGBY®’s nearby.

 

Inspiration for opening a store in Commerce comes from her husband according to Keegan “My husband is from Commerce Township, so we decided to bring BIGGBY® back to his roots!” Being new to the Commerce community Keegan can’t wait to get involved in a BIGG way! “BIGGBY is very involved in community events, especially schools and non-profit organizations.” Keegan says. She looks forward to taking part in end of the year school activities, library functions, and non-profit 5k races!

 

Check out the newest BIGGBY® COFFEE in Commerce Township, MI, located on the corner of Maple and Welch in Maple Park Plaza (1001 Welch Rd Commerce Township, MI 48390). They will be open Monday through Saturday 6:00 am to 9:00 pm and Sunday 7:00 am to 9:00 pm. If you’re a new customer, or already a fanatic Keegan suggests giving the Butterscotch Mocha Latte a whirl “[It] is our current promotion and it's a great treat for warmer weather, especially frozen. It has tasty candy bar bits on top of the whipped cream and it tastes so good!”

 

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