Beaner's To Biggby
I was always curious about the name choice of Beaner's Coffee since they moved into the area. Watch one episode of Mind Of Mencia and you'll know that 'Beaner' is derogatory slang for Hispanics - an odd choice to name your coffee house. On the other hand, they are an established, fairly large chain, so you figure they made peace with their name choice. (Anyone remember the restaurant chain, Sambo's?)
Maybe word about their name double-entendre took a while to reach Beaner's East Lansing Michigan headquarters as the Daily Herald says they are changing their name to Biggby Coffee. If they want to keep spreading around the U.S., it's a good call. Our Arlington Heights location should have it's new name by the end of January.
