ROCHESTER, Minn.- Caribou Coffee opened another location in Rochester on Friday. To celebrate, it gave back to Ability Building Community. For every transaction, a dollar was donated towards programs and services it offers for people with disabilities. Our individuals served have had a very long year not being able to work and be within in the community, said its communications coordinator Crystal Heim.
Ability Building Community also known as ABC, is slowly starting to reopen its programs and services. Caribou picked it because it s an organization that s struggled during the pandemic.
A new Caribou Coffee shop is slated to open its doors on Tuesday at 1620 S. Broadway in the Shoppes on Broadway commercial building. That’s the center in front of the Candlewood Suites hotel that houses Shopko Optical. The center and the hotel were built by South Dakota-based Lamont Cos.
