Get ready to get dusted, Hub City! Mo’Bay Beignet Co. Hattiesburg is coming, and the powder sugar will soon be flying!
What to know
Mo’Bay Beignet Co. Hattiesburg will be the second franchise location for the pastry coffee shop founded in Mobile, AL. Overall, it will be the fifth brick and mortar café to join this growing brand.
According to a recent Facebook post, what began as a request to help paint a menu board for a new business became something more.
The post goes on to share the story of how Mo’Bay Beignet Co. founder Jaclyn Robinson reached out to Morgan Whitehead to paint the menu board, which she did.
Then Morgan asked if she could be a more permanent part of the team.
Now, two years later, Morgan will go from Mo’Bay Beignet’s first team member to the second franchise owner! The first franchise location opened in Auburn in March 2021.
