Van Dyke Biggby to Reopen Under New Ownership Jan. 15

Closed since September 2012, the Biggby Coffee on Van Dyke north of 23 Mile Road will celebrate its grand reopening with free and discount drinks starting Tuesday, Jan. 15.

After three Caramel Marvel-less months, the Biggby Coffee on Van Dyke is ready to offer its signature brews once again.

Economy Forces Shelby Township Biggby Franchise Owner to Shut Doors

If your morning routine includes picking up a coffee from Biggby on Van Dyke and 23 Mile Road, it's about to get interrupted.

You’ll no longer catch a whiff of fresh roasted coffee as you drive down Van Dyke Road in Shelby Township after the Biggby Coffee on Van Dyke, just north of 23 Mile Road, closed its doors. A note posted on the coffee shop’s door stating, “business closed 9/28,” greeted loyal coffee patrons Monday morning. Franchise Owner Dave Danyko told Patch that he’ll miss his daily interactions with the community and the friends he made since opening the shop in 2008, but tough economic times have forced him to “hang up the apron.” “Although it’s a wonderful business, the location and business climate in Macomb County—it was just one of those things that could not be sustained,” he said.   This is the second independently owned coffee shop on Van Dyke …
