WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass.- Tuesday was 'Salute to Chicopee Day' at the Big E and the Koffee Kup Bakery represented the Hampden County city with their freshly brewed coffee and more.

The local shop was based out of Springfield for 65 years before moving to Chicopee last year. It also features a bakery that's known for its homemade sweets as well as the Massachusetts state desert, the Boston Creme Pie.

Owner Lisa Facente said the city of Chicopee has been very welcoming to them since moving their business into the area during the pandemic.

She said COVID restrictions last year didn't allow her business to have a more traditional grand opening so being able to expose her business to a wider audience now is a special opportunity.

"It's just everybody comes out and the crowds," Facente said. "They're all looking to support each other. Local businesses, everybody is trying to learn something new. Being in the building it's also educational so I'm always telling people what the sweet desert is. So it's also exposing your business and it's also educational for the consumers as well"

Koffee Kup Bakery is open in Chicopee six days a week Monday to Saturday and will continue to serve their home-baked goods everyday at the Big E until the festival ends on Sunday, October 2.
