BIGGBY® COFFEE's Rising Star in the Coffee Franchise Industry
BIGGBY® COFFEE, a standout in the competitive landscape of coffee franchises, has made headlines with its impressive ascent in the Franchise Times Top 400 rankings. The franchise, which boasts over 450 locations, has now secured the coveted spot of No. 188 in the 2025 listing, marking a remarkable leap of more than 100 positions in just four years.
This achievement underscores the effectiveness of BIGGBY®'s innovative operational strategies and robust support system for franchisees, emphasizing its community-focused approach that sets it apart from other coffee franchises.
The Road to Success: Key Factors Behind the Growth
Erin Kaylor, the President of BIGGBY® COFFEE, attributes this impressive growth to the dedication and hard work of everyone involved in the franchise—from owners and operators to the baristas who bring their coffee to life. "This achievement reflects the heart of our community-oriented mission and the unwavering support from our franchise family," Kaylor stated proudly.
To feature in the Franchise Times Top 400, franchises must meet strict criteria, including having a minimum of 10% of their locations or headquarters based in the United States and ensuring that at least 15% of their units are franchised. The rankings are determined through voluntary disclosures and public Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs), with the total revenue being evaluated on a global scale.
BIGGBY® COFFEE remains unwavering in its commitment to excellence, focusing on building a tight-knit community while fostering an environment for successful franchise operations. The brand's emphasis on a people-first philosophy not only enhances customer experiences but also encourages franchise owners to achieve healthy returns on their investments.
Vision for the Future
Looking ahead, Kaylor emphasizes that this is merely the beginning. "Our vision for the future involves intentional and strategic growth, serving communities better, and supporting our franchise partners without compromise," she explained. BIGGBY® COFFEE demonstrates a strong desire to deepen its existing relationships while exploring new markets to extend its positive impact.
In 2024, the franchise unveiled a refreshed brand identity, along with the tagline 'BIGGBY® Makes it Better,' which encapsulates their promise of maintaining consistent quality, nurturing human connections, and enriching everyday interactions within local communities.
A Community-Driven Brand
Based in East Lansing, Michigan, BIGGBY® COFFEE operates under a fully franchised model, which empowers local entrepreneurs to create successful and socially responsible businesses. This commitment to community involvement extends to partnering with coffee producers who prioritize ethical practices, environmental respect, and social investments, ensuring a holistic approach from bean to cup.
With its upward trajectory firmly set, BIGGBY® COFFEE is well-positioned to capitalize on future opportunities and continue bolstering its reputation as a leading coffee franchise in the United States. As Kaylor aptly puts it, the most significant strides are yet to come, and BIGGBY® COFFEE stands ready to embark on this exciting journey, fueled by its dedicated franchise community and loyal customers.
