The Pets of BIGGBY(R) COFFEE

BIGGBY® COFFEE Celebrating Pet Appreciation Week

East Lansing, MI, May 30, 2019–BIGGBY® COFFEE is known as the friendly coffee community. It’s a place where friends can gather over a beverage as unique as themselves, a place where laughter and love are as common as caffeine, a place where we celebrate YOU. We celebrate your laughter, your love, everything that makes you, well, you! And we know there’s not much more important to you as the furry friends you call family! Whether it barks, meows, or swims in a bowl, BIGGBY® COFFEE loves your pet just as much as you do! We know that sometimes one of the most important aspects of building a life you love is having the unconditional love of a pet, and to celebrate those animals that build you up, BIGGBY® COFFEE wants to spend a whole week honoring them!

June 2 through June 8, BIGGBY® COFFEE will be celebrating Pet Appreciation Week by running a social media contest on Facebook and Instagram for all the pets of BIGGBY® COFFEE. Starting June 2 at 7 am (eastern) and ending June 8 at 11:59 pm (eastern), BIGGBY ® COFFEE fanatics can post a picture of their BIGGBY® pet with the hashtag #PetsOfBIGGBY and 25 lucky pet parents will be randomly selected to win a $25 gift card and a silicone collapsible and reusable travel pet dish. Winners will be announced June 10.

BIGGBY® COFFEE likes to spoil their furry friends by offering them a Cup of Whip. The Cup of Whip, often referred to as a “Pup Cup” features whipped cream, sprinkles, and—in some cases—a dog treat. Many BIGGBY® COFFEE locations feature outdoor seating where pets can enjoy their treat while their owners enjoy their own.

Be on the lookout for the Pets of BIGGBY® Contest post on Instagram and Facebook June 2 and be sure to stop by your local BIGGBY® COFFEE and get your pet of BIGGBY® a sweet treat—and maybe even one for yourself, too!

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.
