From a press release:
“Saturday, April 30th 10am Ribbon Cutting 3207 M Street NW
Bitty & Beau’s Coffee, the North Carolina-based company that reinvented the coffee experience, will soon open their twelfth store in Washington, DC. 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 Washington, DC, where we know that our store can positively impact the entire community.”
