Here's the bullet point, condensed version of how we came to B. (A little information but a very big story.)

• Three enterprising people started BIGGBY COFFEE: Bob, Mary, and Michael
• Bob spent his formative years in Europe and has a BIG taste for great coffee
• Bob manages a restaurant
• Bob hires Mary as a host/night manager
• Bob and Mary both have college degrees in hospitality management
• Bob and Mary earnestly study the emerging coffee culture in the early 90's
• They open their first café in 1995 in East Lansing, Michigan
• Mary hires Michael as a barista at the cafe
• Bob, Mary, and Michael create synergy and begin the hard work of seeing if a dream can become reality
• 12 short years later, over 150 BIGGBY COFFEE franchises are up, or on their way, in 9 states and thousands of loyal and new customers frequent "their BIGGBY" to enjoy the World's Best Coffee every day
• The dream is reality... and the dream goes on and on
