A Lansing Coffee Shop is Expanding

With the amount of businesses, primarily restaurants and eateries, that have closed in the last couple of years, it's always so refreshing to hear of a business doing well. One Lansing business is doing so well, in fact, that they're expanding.

There are quite a few places to grab a cup of coffee throughout the Lansing area. You've got national chains like Starbucks and Dunkin. You've got regional Biggby. Then, you've got local places like Strange Matter, Blue Owl, and 517 Coffee.

A congratulations goes out to The 517 Coffee Company, because they just announced that they're expanding!
