For as long as I can remember, Lansing has had a chain of coffee shops named “Beaners”. They were kind of like Starbucks on a smaller scale. And their logo was a big “B”.

Well, the Hispanic community declared that the name “Beaners” was degrading so Beaners decided to change their name. I thought that “B” would be a good name or even Big B. Well I was close. They chose Biggby instead.

Personally, I think the name Biggby is a little dorky. They should have gone with Big B but they didn’t ask me. Oh well, I don’t buy coffee there so I guess it doesn’t matter.
