Australia’s leading specialty coffee retailer, Zarraffa’s Coffee, has opened its 75th store overall – and the eighth store within the Sunshine Coast region – with a new drive thru store in Nambour.
Zarraffa’s Coffee Nambour has officially opened its doors, offering a drive thru for quick and convenient service during busy periods and inside or outside seating for up to 44 people.
The new location will be operated by Terry Bambury and James Burgess-Liehr, along with seasoned franchisee, Ben Old – who collectively have over 60 years of experience with the Zarraffa’s brand.
The Zarraffa’s Coffee Nambour store will be the very first store co-owned by James after an impressive 23-years managing and working across several roles within Zarraffa’s – from a Junior Barista on the Gold Coast and Brisbane, through to Area Manager of Ben and Terry’s stores.
“It’s been an incredible trajectory for James and so rewarding to see one of our longest-serving employees finally realise his dream of store ownership,” said Zarraffa’s CEO, Marnie Sheldon.
“A huge part of our company success is the consistent reinvestment of our franchisees into new stores, and now we get to celebrate another level of achievement by James who brings a wealth of experience to the table.”
James said that transitioning to a Zarraffa’s Coffee store owner had been a long time coming and that after over two decades with Zarraffa’s it was the perfect time to do it for himself.
“Zarraffa’s is very much a family business and offers the kind of support that you would expect from family too, they are always at the end of the phone or right with you when needed, day or night.”
