## Story

The Human Bean, based in Medford, OR, opened its first drive-thru espresso and coffee stand in Ashland Oregon in 1998. Since then The Human Bean’s signature style of service, quality beverages and intentional convenience have fueled its growth to more than 100 locations. The Human Bean is well known for its friendly and experienced baristas and for offering the highest quality ingredients.

“We’ve been working really hard to get open. It has been a crazy and exciting journey that started when I went to Oregon for 3 weeks of training. I was immersed in the coffee culture and The Human Bean’s unique style. It was wonderful!” commented Mr. Tremaine. “The way that the Human Bean does things is like no other experience I’ve had in my restaurant career. I’m certain that in no time we’ll be entrenched as a regular part of Gastonia’s daily life,” added Mr. Tremaine.

Further announcements about the Gastonia location and other Charlotte-area and southeast locations are forthcoming via press release. You can also follow us @THBGastonia on Facebook and Instagram.
