Bitty and Beau’s<\/a> is a coffee shop staffed entirely by people with disabilities. It was created when founder Amy Wright \u2014\u00a0whose two children, Bitty and Beau, both have Down syndrome \u2014\u00a0realized that there is a high unemployment rate for people with disabilities. What started as a 500-square-foot shop has now grown to a franchise with locations across the country. The newest location is opening soon in Jacksonville, Florida, and a video of the newest employees receiving the news of their surprise hires is getting a lot of attention.<\/p>\n

The Bitty and Beau’s team arrived with balloons to surprise their newest employees, who have various disabilities. One woman, Diamond, cheered as she received her apron; another young man, Ray, cried as his family clapped. Even more employees were hired in an event held where the coffee shop will open as onlookers cheered and applauded.<\/p>\n
