Coffee Shop To Spread Like Virus

If there’s one thing this town is lacking in, it’s certainly chain coffee shops. There just simply aren’t enough Starbucks here! Why aren’t there more Bucks County Coffees? Just last week, protesters were in the streets, demanding someone do something about it.

You can quiet down. More chains are coming! Local entrepreneur Joe Grasso has purchased the Saxby’s Coffee chain, moved its headquarters to the Curtis Building and says he’s in position to become the #2 coffee retailer behind Starbucks.

A Saxby’s will open next week in Wayne, and there will be close to 60 in the Philadelphia-area by the first quarter of next year, according to Grasso: “We’re growing at a pace of one a week. That should increase over the next five to six months.”

Pretty soon, we’ll have a chicken in every pot and a chain coffee store on every corner.
