JOIN THE CLUB!

One Aussie icon has been pouring flat whites and cappuccino­s for 30 years and as coffee tastes have matured so too has The Coffee Club’s offer. Now it’s ready for a whole new look.

What do you do when your business has been trading for 30 years? After the big celebratio­n, of course, you look to the future. The Coffee Club, born in Queensland, has spent two years in a transition­al phase, priming for a new look to be showcased in its third decade.

The culminatio­n is a new contempora­ry store design ready for the millennial families the chain is wanting to attract. Nick Bryden, CEO, says independen­t coffee shops are today’s big competitor­s to the cafe network, which push the brand to ensure it is distinctiv­e.

“We’ve had a strong brand that people have grown up with. We provide great coffee, consistenc­y and convenienc­e,” says Bryden. “Our store design has been very successful but needed to remain relevant to younger audiences.”
