Almost as fast as its coffee products will soon help wake people up in the morning, a new Biggby Coffee drive-thru location here was erected Wednesday, Oct. 30, in a matter of hours.

Bellefontaine resident and U.S. Air Force veteran Dwight Preston and his brother, Johnathon Kelley of Marysville, own the city’s newest coffee shop, located at 170 Augusta Drive, and anticipate it will open some time in mid-January.

Work crews with the Alpena, Mich.-based BCubed Manufacturing, LLC, began assembling the 349 square-foot prefabricated, sectional structure about 8 a.m. and performed the final walkthrough of the completed building at 4 p.m., co-owner Dwight Preston said.

While there will be no inside dining at the location, plans are to add patio seating and a walk-up window for customers, Preston said.

BCubed works with Biggby franchises and their modular drive-thru facilities come pre-wired and pre-plumbed, according the firm’s website.
