“The Neelis family currently operates two of our BIGGBY® COFFEE locations and are amazing individuals,” said Tony DiPietro, director of franchise sales at BIGGBY® COFFEE.  “The Eaton Rapids marketplace has been loud about wanting their own  BIGGBY® for quite some time, and the Neelis family is excited to answer that call and to become part of another local community.”

The Neelis’s became franchise owners of BIGGBY® COFFEE  because of the core values and beliefs of the BIGGBY® COFFEE brand.

BIGGBY^® COFFEE, East Lansing, Mich.-based, 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 Michael McFall, on a handshake and $4,000, decided to franchise the concept. BIGGBY^® COFFEE’s cultural values of Make Friends, Have Fun, B Yourself, and Share Great Coffee help coffee-lovers and the coffee-curious alike benefit from a less pretentious and fun approach to the standard gourmet cafe paradigm. Besides connoisseur-worthy drinks with pronounceable names like Teddy Bear^® and Caramel Marvel^®, BIGGBY^® baristas provide a unique experience focused on brightening their customers’ day and supporting them in building a life they love. The “Big ‘B’” on the orange background caught on, and today BIGGBY^® COFFEE has more than 230 cafes across 9 states and counting including Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Florida, and Texas. In 2018, BIGGBY^® launched an Area Representative Program and currently has 8 Area Representatives in 6 states. For franchise opportunities with BIGGBY® COFFEE, contact franchiseinfo@biggby.com.
