Something big brewing at Condon Zarraffa’s a driving force

- CHRISTIE ANDERSON

ZARRAFFA’S Coffee will open their third Townsville store at Condon adding to Townsville’s drive- through food and beverage offerings.

The drive- through coffee merchant will open on Monday at 887 Riverway Drive alongside Pie House which will also offer drive- through service.

Townsville franchisee Corey Blakemore said the local community had embraced Zarraffa’s coffee with the added convenienc­e of being able to drive through.

“All our stores are drive through but we know the importance of offering a cool, instore environmen­t for those wishing to take time out of their day, especially in our climate,” he said.

“Whether it be the guys and girls from the local army base, the Cowboys players on their way to and from training, tradies out and about, or mums and dads on the school run – there is a coffee option that suits everyone.

“It will be a stand- alone, drive- through store that will offer a dine- in environmen­t; somewhere to stop off and grab a bite, just across from the Ross River.”

The new store will cater to people on the western side of town, near the turn off to the A1 Ring Road and close James Cook University.

More than 70 people will be employed across the three Townsville stores.

Managing director and founder of Zarraffa’s Coffee Kenton Campbell said the love affair with his brand in Townsville had elevated the local stores to some of the top in the group.

“From day one the people of Townsville have supported our businesses and we look forward to growing with the community, through product and service and local employment,” he said.

“We already have another site ready to open in 2018 and will look at future growth opportunit­ies as they arise but the bottom line is that we love our Townsville customers and we are here to stay.” to
