In 2009, while Adam was a junior studying psychology at Miami University, his mother took a bold step and opened a Biggby Coffee shop in Lima. Little did Adam know that this would become more than just a family business – it would become a cornerstone of his identity.
With a keen eye for fostering meaningful interactions, Adam ventured into owning Biggby Coffee shops in Maumee, focusing on customer engagement and genuine connections. In 2013, he expanded his reach to Toledo, where he not only grew his business but also found love in Mary Wiechart, a woman who shared his vision for a future rooted in Lima.
The Biggby Coffee shops they owned didn’t operate like typical franchises. They were hubs of warmth and familiarity, where baristas knew customers by name, and conversations flowed freely like the coffee pouring from the espresso machines. People didn’t just come for a caffeine fix; they came for a sense of belonging.
For Adam, the true value of his coffee shops wasn’t just in the quality of the brew but in the gift of connection they offered. Every dollar spent there was an investment in the community, a testament to the belief that small acts of kindness and camaraderie could ripple outward, transforming Lima for the better.
As Adam stood behind the counter of his beloved coffee shop, exchanging smiles and stories with familiar faces, he knew that he was exactly where he was meant to be – in the heart of Lima, savoring the sweet blend of coffee and community that made his hometown truly special.
