Marianna, FL (Jan. 23, 2024)  – Baristas at The Human Bean will begin pouring coffee and other specialty beverages at 4380 Lafayette St. beginning early 2024. Customers are invited to come get a first taste of the drive-thru’s offerings, including specialty-grade coffee, energy drinks, real-fruit smoothies, whole-leaf teas, and hot breakfast items to-go.

Local owners of the new Human Bean location, Shannon and Chase Maddox, say the staff look forward to providing above-par products and exceptional customer service — all with a signature chocolate-covered espresso bean on top.

“We’ve got an excited team who have been training and preparing for this grand opening,” says Chase Maddox. “They’re ready to start sharing the energy here, and serve the friendly faces who come through our drive-thru in Marianna.”

With a reputation for cheerful baristas and sustainably-sourced coffee, The Human Bean coffee company has grown from a single location in southern Oregon to a nationwide brand over the last 25 years. Drive-thru stands throughout the U.S. are primarily owned and operated by individual franchisees like Shannon Maddox, who have a passion for bringing “coffee with a smile” to their communities.

The Human Bean franchise CEO, Dan Hawkins, attributes the company’s growth to a community-minded mentality and treating everyone “like a kind human bean.” With quarterly charity donations and many smaller local initiatives, the company strives to make staff, partners, vendors, and customers feel valued.

Customers can join the feel-good vibes by participating in several fundraising events throughout the year, including the brand-wide Coffee for a Cure day in October. All of The Human Bean drive-thrus participate in the fundraisers each year, and collectively raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for cancer prevention and treatment.   

All of the money raised by the Marianna drive-thru location will stay in the community and be given to a local organization of the staff’s choosing.

Customers are invited to get a taste of what The Human Bean of Marianna has to offer and can prepare for their visit by finding The Human Bean drink menu and Rewards App online.
