About Biggby Coffee
Biggby Coffee, based in East Lansing, Mich., 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 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 250 cafes across 10 states. In 2018, Biggby® launched an Area Representative Program and currently has 17 Area Representatives in 8 states.
