The Macklin Business Institute Café (MBI Café) is a student-run “We Proudly Serve Starbucks ®” on the Montgomery College Rockville campus. Since the summer of 2003, each class of Macklin Business Institute (MBI) students has been charged with helping make management and operational decisions that will positively impact the success of the Café. The MBI Café offers an experiential learning opportunity that is consistent with the MBI program goals. MBI students learn the necessary tools and develop critical business skills that positively impact all aspects of Cafe operations. By participating in teams, MBI students are able to create, develop, and implement strategies in order to improve the overall financial performance of the business.
