Biggby Coffee returned to Port Huron with a new shop on Pine Grove Ave., which opened last week. This marked the brand’s return to St. Clair County after previous locations had closed. The shop became the second in the area for local owner Nick Wurmlinger, who also runs a Richmond location that opened earlier this year. Staff training finished just before the launch, and early customer response was strong, with many stopping by for their favorite drinks. Other Biggby options are now in Sandusky and New Baltimore.
