In a press release dated January 9, 2019, FireKeepers Casino Hotel announced the opening of Gapi Coffee & Sweets. The Gapi menu will include not only coffee drinks, but soups and sandwiches.
The exclusive provider of coffee will be Five Lakes Coffee, a family owned business dedicated to roasting coffee since 2002. With roots in Sturgis Michigan, the company now owns six locations in Southwest Michigan and Northern Indiana.
“We are excited to partner with Five Lakes Coffee to expand our coffee offerings for our guests,” stated Kathy George, FireKeepers CEO. “The food and bakery options are also a fantastic addition for guests looking to re-energize.”
Gapi is the Potawatomi word for coffee. This naming initiative by the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi, owners of FireKeepers Casino Hotel, incorporates the native language into the community focus of FireKeepers.
