Up North Roast has ribbon cutting in Escanaba

If you asked Gary and Jacob Cass about opening a store to sell their coffee when they first started roasting beans in a popcorn popper, they would have probably just scoffed at the idea.

As the years went on and their coffee continued to grow in popularity, the idea became more and more of a possibility until just recently when UP North Roast cut the ribbon on their walk-in roaster storefront at 506 Ludington St. in Escanaba.

The storefront, which is open from noon to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, until 8 p.m. on Thursday and from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Saturday, is in a newly-renovated building in downtown Escanaba.

UP North Roast coffee is also available in 15 different stores throughout the Upper Peninsula. For a complete list of where to get their coffee, please visit the Up North Roast website.
