In a recent interview with QSR, BIGGBY® COFFEE franchisee Zachary Raubinger and his wife, Reagan, discussed the recent opening of a new Biggby Coffee location in Whte Lake, Michigan.

For them, coffee has always been a family affair, as Raubinger was first introduced to the BIGGBY® COFFEE brand when he was 11 when he started working at his father’s store in nearby Howell. It was an easy decision to bring his family on board as partners.

Raubinger, who works full-time at the Ford Motor company in IT, always knew he had an entrepreneurial spirit, and he fell in love with the BIGGBY® brand and concept.

The BIGGBY® COFFEE brand has been steadily growing across the U.S. since its first opening in 1995. Raubinger saw this as an opportunity to be a part of something that he and his family had always enjoyed and been a fan of.

“Business ownership, and more specifically, franchising, was always something that I was interested in,” Raubinger says. “It was a no-brainer for us to pursue our dream of being an entrepreneur with the BIGGBY® COFFEE brand, seeing as though their model has proven successful.”

The Raubingers’ White Lake location is in a refurbished Chase Bank that boasts a fireplace, indoor seating, a large patio and even a conference room that will be open for guests to rent. This location will be the third in the area and will bring 12 jobs to the market.

“We are very excited to bring the BIGGBY® COFFEE brand to the White Lake community,” said Raubinger. “We want our location to be a place for people to connect, have fun and drink great coffee.”
