Bitty & Beau’s Coffee, the North Carolina-based company that reinvented the coffee experience, just opened their fifteenth store in the San Marco Square. Named after their 2 children with Down syndrome, the brand was first launched by the Wright family in 2016 to change the way people see people with disabilities -- especially in the workplace. 

“80% of people with disabilities don’t have jobs -- and we’re out to change that. Not just by providing employment opportunities for people with disabilities, but by showing our guests what’s possible,” said co-founder Amy Wright. “Bitty & Beau’s Coffee has created a path for people with disabilities to become valued, accepted and included in every community -- we’ve said it from the start -- it’s more than just a cup of coffee.”

Wright added, “With the support of the community behind us, we are energized to bring Bitty & Beau’s Coffee to Jacksonville, FL, where we know that our store can positively impact the entire community.” To learn more about Bitty & Beau’s Coffee visit www.bittyandbeauscoffee.com.
