My friend Bob Fish...my erstwhile friend...I beg to differ that he became entrepreneurial the day people started asking about franchises. I have heard the BibbbyBob story often, frankly too often, and must say Bob became an entrepreneur the day he cut a deal to own a Flap Jack Shack.
But that is a small point. Biggby does employ 2,000 people. And, I gather, 1500 cows. Full time. What a guy BiggbyBob is. The originator of the bovine full employment program.
I remember the first time we got mentioned in a Crain's piece, and what a big deal that was--how cool that now you're giving the keynote at an event sponsored by Crain's? Yahoo!
CEO and Co-Founder of BIGGBY COFFEE.
Our first cafe began in March of 1995, and we began franchising in 1999. We now have over 157 cafes located in 9 states. We are a 100% franchised system....meaning local ownership.
I am spending much of the year on the road visiting our cafe owners, employees and customers....these are the chronicles of my visits.
