Construction has begun on a new establishment in Reed City near the US-131 freeway corridor. According to Richmond Township Supervisor Maynard Bluhm, this building will be the home of a new coffee shop.

“There will be a Biggby Coffee drive-thru store at (the) location,” Bluhm said. “Construction of the building will be in the spring of 2026.”

This marks the second attempt to bring the Michigan-based franchise to Reed City. In December 2021, local residents Sonya Bielecki and Kelly Prielipp announced plans for a Biggby storefront and drive-thru at 419 N. Chestnut Street. The project ultimately fell through and the pair then shifted their focus to Cadillac. They would go on to open a location at Cadillac Junction in January 2024.

The new location will be located on 220th Avenue between Taco Bell and West Michigan Credit Union. 

Biggby, headquartered in East Lansing, currently has over 450 locations across 13 states. Current regional locations include Big Rapids, Cadillac, Clare, Fremont, Harrison, Howard City, Lake City, Mount Pleasant, and Newaygo. A new Biggby development has also begun in Houghton Lake as of April 2025.

More details will be released as they are made available.
