The Human Bean Story
The very first Human Bean coffee shop opened its doors in 1998. This first store was located in Ashland, Oregon. Just a few years later, in 2002, the company started to grow. They began to offer franchises. This means other people could open their own Human Bean shops using the company's name and ideas.
Today, The Human Bean has many locations. Most of these are drive-through only, which means you can get your coffee without leaving your car! However, a few locations also have indoor seating where you can relax. The company also supports health programs for both women and men.
