Franchise operators of Caribou Coffee brands opened a second, stand-alone, cabin-style location in metro Detroit.
A Caribou Coffee cabin is now open at 16006 Southfield Rd. in Allen Park. On a busy stretch of Southfield between Allen Road and Insterstate-94, the 600-square-foot building features the company’s blue and brown signature colors and has a drive-thru and pick-up window.
This is the second new location for the Caribou Coffee brand, which largely left Michigan a decade ago. The group previously opened a Caribou Coffee opened in late December at 22134 Woodward Ave. in Ferndale.
About five years ago, the brand resurfaced inside Einstein Bros. Bagels locations.
Caribou Coffee is a brand under Panera Brands company, which includes Panera Bread and Einstein Bros. Manna Development Group, a Panera Breads franchisee operating 165 of the bakery-cafes in 10 states, is the group behind bringing Caribou Coffee back to metro Detroit.
Like the Ferndale location, Caribou Coffee in Allen Park offers its signature line of a variety of coffee and other beverages, all made with real ingredients, the company said, like real chocolate chips and caramel sauce. Also on the menu are teas and a line of “BOUsted” beverages made with caffeine from coffee, plus guarana and ginseng. Caribou Coffee’s food menu includes breakfast sandwiches, baked goods and snacks.
Next Monday at 10 a.m., an Allen Park location ribbon-cutting grand opening takes place. During the grand opening, the first 100 guests receive a free Caribou Coffee mug. There’s also a free coffee for a year giveaway tied to the grand opening. You can enter by becoming a Caribou Perks member and making a purchase March 18 through March 24. The winner receives one free beverage per week loaded onto their Caribou Perks account.
