With the amount of businesses, primarily restaurants and eateries, that have closed in the last couple of years, it's always so refreshing to hear of a business doing well. One Lansing business is doing so well, in fact, that they're expanding.

There are quite a few places to grab a cup of coffee throughout the Lansing area. You've got national chains like Starbucks and Dunkin. You've got regional Biggby. Then, you've got local places like Strange Matter, Blue Owl, and 517 Coffee.

A congratulations goes out to The 517 Coffee Company, because they just announced that they're expanding!

The 517 Coffee Company is Expanding to a Second Location

The 517 Coffee Company started back in 2014, when owners James and Amanda Defrees started roasting coffee at their home and selling it at local farmers markets. In 2021, they expanded into their first brick-and-mortar store, which is located at 6030 S Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
