Beaner's Gourmet Coffee
Espresso bar w/sandwiches, salads & baked goods
BEANER'S IS NOW BIGGBY BEANER'S Gourmet Coffee was founded in East Lansing, MI in 1995 by Bob Fish and Mary Roszel, when, on March 15, 1995, they first opened the doors to their new coffee shop, BEANER'S Gourmet Coffee. The store quickly became the premiere gourmet coffee shop in the East Lansing area, standing apart from competitors by serving drinks of the highest quality quickly and efficiently in a atmosphere that customers found instantly inviting. These three qualities have remained central to the BEANER'S operating philosophy and have driven the success of BEANER'S Gourmet Coffee in the years since.
A second store opened in October of 1997 in Lansing, MI, one block from the Capitol Building, bringing the World's Best Coffee downtown. It remains one of the busiest stores in the company and a favorite meeting place for downtown professionals.
The success of both stores led to a decision to begin franchising the BEANER'S Gourmet Coffee brand, and in June of 1998, Global Orange Development, LLC, the franchisor for BEANER'S Gourmet Coffee, was formed by Bob Fish, Mary Roszel, and Michael McFall. The first two franchises were signed early in the following year.
