Congratulations to Zarraffa’s Coffee which is this week marking both 10 years in franchising and the opening of its 50th store, located at Maroochydore on QueenslandÍs Sunshine Coast.
Founder and CEO Kenton Campbell said reaching these milestones is a genuine thrill. “This means a lot on so many levels but as a privately owned company we all take pride in the achievement, especially considering the many economic factors that have worked against so many businesses in the past five years.
“We have built this business with the hard work and commitment of many people who have held true to what we have worked so hard to achieve; a superior coffee product, roasted by us, and delivered to our loyal customers with the highest standards of service and taste.”
“Maroochydore is the perfect example of how our own franchisees continue to make money and back our brand by opening more stores. Franchisees Terry and Jeanette Bambury, who also own the Sunshine Plaza and Morayfield stores, have built on their own hard work by being a part of our franchise system to achieve their own business goals and financial rewards.”
Multi-unit franchisee Terry Bambury is thrilled to bring the companyÍs latest operational convenience concept to the area.
“We are excited to open the drive thru store and provide quality, accessible coffee to the Sunshine Coast, including the many businesses on Aerodrome Rd and both our local residents and holiday visitors,” he said. “ItÍs very much a family business with our three children working with us over the years and we look forward to forging close ties to the community in Maroochydore and surrounds.”
The new store will provide jobs for up to 20 locals and the 160sqm site will offer both the drive through and in-store dining options.
There a full slate of store openings lined up for 2012 both in Queensland and interstate in NSW and Victoria, said Campbell. “A few years ago we had a good look at where the convenience coffee business was heading and more and more people need access to their daily coffee while they are out doing everyday things. Major shopping centres were just not giving us enough access to our core customers and as a result we adapted our operations to great success.
