Biggby Coffee (pronounced Big-Bee) is a coffee franchise based in the Midwestern United States. Founded in March, 1995 as Beaner's Coffee by Robert Fish and Mary Roszel, the first location opened its doors in East Lansing, Michigan near the campus of Michigan State University on March 15, 1995.
Biggby began franchising in 1999. As of April 2008, Biggby Coffee has 89 stores[1] in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, South Carolina and Wisconsin.
[edit] Name change from Beaner's Coffee
In late 2007, the chain changed its name from "Beaner's" to "Biggby Coffee," after receiving complaints that "beaner" is an ethnic slur for the Hispanic community.
