GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - A new Seattle's Best Coffee cafe is among the key highlights of a new Family Fare store that Spartan Stores here debuted this week in Allendale, Mich.
Craig Sturken, Spartan's president, chairman and c.e.o. said, the store-within-a-store cafe "is a great fit between our Family Fare banner and Seattle's Best Coffee as each one has been developed to serve the entire family."
The cafe serves a full line of Seattle's Best premium coffee and non-coffee beverages, including lattes, mochas, hand-shaken cold brewed coffees and whole beans, as well as fresh pastries and bakery items and select Seattle's Best Coffee merchandise.
