Bitty and Beau's Coffee isn't your average coffee shop. It's a "human rights movement" in disguise, say co-founders Amy and Ben Wright. The husband-and-wife duo left their careers in education and finance — in 2016 and 2020, respectively — to build Bitty and Beau's, a chain of coffee shops run almost entirely by people with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Today, Bitty and Beau's has 19 locations and more than 400 employees across 11 states, according to its website. It started when Amy left the after-school theater program for kids she'd founded, to help the first Bitty and Beau's get off the ground.
