Bitty & Beau's Coffee was welcomed to Nashville by some familiar names in country music.
On Tuesday (September 14), Bitty & Beau's Coffee's newest location opened up and folks like Dierks Bentley, Lauren Alaina and Travis Denning helped the opening festivities by filming videos for a promo clip. "It's more than a cup of coffee, it's showing the world what's possible — I'm so excited," Bentley says in the video. Meanwhile, Alaina cited their cause and coffee as their shining stars. "I love your cause, I love your coffee and I can't wait to get a cup," she gushed in the video. Among the other stars in the Bitty & Beau's Coffee promotional video include Gary Allan, Josh Turner and Parker McCollum.
Bitty & Beau's Coffee started out in 2016 in North Carolina as a family-owned business. Owners Ben and Amy Wright named the store after their two children, Bitty and Beau, who live with Down syndrome. "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," Amy said in a press release.
"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," she continued.
Bitty & Beau's Coffee locations exist in Alabama, District of Columbia, Texas, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan, Massachusetts, Maryland, Florida and Georgia.
