2022 marks the 30th anniversary of Caribou Coffee. During its birthday week, which begins on Monday, December 12, the firm will provide a limited-edition Birthday Cake Latte to commemorate the milestone.
On December 14, 1992, John Butcher and Kim Puckett, the company's founders, inaugurated the first Caribou Coffee location in Edina, Minnesota. With more than 400 coffee shops spread across the country, it has now become one of the biggest coffee chains in the country.

He continued, saying:
"As we look to the next 30 years, we are excited to build on our shared vision of living life to the fullest and providing guests with the inspiring coffee shop experience they know and love."
