“This isn’t the end of BDG. It’s a strategic shift toward a stronger future. The world has changed since the pandemic — and so has the way we do business. We’re choosing to adapt boldly and intentionally,” per BDG.
“We have some exciting developments on the horizon for BDG, things we cannot wait to share, but in order to step fully into what’s next, we need to start moving pieces into place now,” BDG stated.
“In 2015, Barista’s expanded with a second location, followed by a third in 2023 — a former car wash reimagined into a one-of-a-kind drive-thru experience,” per the BDG website.
BDG will continue to operate its south location, 1502 2nd Ave. and north location, 5621 2nd Ave.
“We’re incredibly grateful for every single memory made inside those walls. And we promise — the story isn’t over,” BDG stated.
