Bitty & Beau's Coffee is commemorating a decade of operations, during which the company has expanded from a single location to a multi-state enterprise recognized for its core mission of employing individuals with disabilities in prominent customer service positions. Founded by parents whose children have Down syndrome, the business operates as a standard for-profit retail coffee shop model. Unlike its competitors, however, Bitty & Beau's Coffee is intentionally structured to provide visible work opportunities and challenge prevailing statistics regarding unemployment within the disability community.
Bitty & Beau's Coffee's ten-year anniversary is being celebrated with a public event at the business's original Wilmington store. The gathering will feature live entertainment with a DJ and a dance floor, alongside complimentary coffee.
