## Story

During almost two years of lockdowns, shutdowns and curfews, BIGGBY® COFFEE never lost its focus on loving unconditionally and supporting others. The brand navigated the pandemic by doubling down on meeting the needs of its customers and helping those in its communities build a life they love.

“BIGGBY® COFFEE believes when you love the world, the world will love you back,” said Bob Fish, BIGGBY® COFFEE co-founder and co-CEO. “And the same holds true for all the individuals in this world. To celebrate the unique voices people bring to this world and to the contribution they make to their communities by voting, BIGGBY® COFFEE is excited to offer this special Election Day promotion.”

So whether you want something to sip on while you wait in line to vote, need a pick-me-up after Election Day or just want something special to drink, BIGGBY® COFFEE would love to be a part of your day on November 2nd.

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.

The brand’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 COFFEE 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 260 cafes across many states including Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Kentucky and Florida. In 2018 BIGGBY launched an Area Representative Program and currently has 17 Area Representatives in 8 states.
