Global Peace Factory opened its doors as a coffee house a little more than six weeks ago with the motto that every cup counts and they are now trying to get the word out that when someone orders a cup of their coffee it really does count.

Global Peace Factory owner, Bernard Lucien Nussbaumer, wants to make a difference in the world and he wants his customers to feel like they are making a difference too.

Nussbaumer donates two percent of every dollar that is spent in his store to charity. His current charity of choice is Chance2give.org. He wants to find a Frisco charity to donate to at some point so the donation can benefit the community that helps his business.

Nussbaumer was going to originally open his coffee house in Dallas, where he lives, but he couldn't find a space that he liked. His realtor suggested Frisco and showed him his current space. He said when he saw it he like it a lot.

"There is no coffee around here and with word of mouth I think we can do good," Nussbaumer said. 

He has made to shop in a very comfortable place. There is both inside and outside seating and a loft upstairs with additional seating. He encourages people to use to shop for meetings and social gatherings. He also wants to add entertainment and yoga at some point too.

This is Nussbaumer's first coffee shop. He used to live in Los Angeles and work in a different industry but when he left there he wanted to do something new.

He came up with the name Global Peace Factory before the actual coffee part.  He wants Global Peace Factory to be a whole brand with multiple divisions. He wants there to be a music division, yoga division, coffee division and social network.

He decided to focus on developing the coffee portion of the brand first. After deciding on coffee he went to Barista School in Oregon to learn everything he possibly could about making coffee and running a coffee shop. Then he brought people from the Barista School to Dallas to train his staff. His staff is trained in the technique and precision in making a great cup of coffee, espresso or latté.

The shop offers Paninis and other light foods for those customers that come in hungry. There is free WiFi for those wanting to have coffee and bring there work with them.  The shop is open from 7 a.m. until 9 p.m. seven days a week.

Nussbaumer said as word spreads about the coffee shop he will be expanding the menu to add more food and beer and wine.

Global Peace Factory is located at 1377 Legacy Drive, suite 100
