The Coffee Club has opened its 60th store at the newly opened shopping centre, Tauranga Crossing in the Bay of Plenty.

The shopping centre, which opened its doors last month, said it is introducing retailers that reflect the relaxed lifestyle that comes with living in the Bay of Plenty.

The 60th cafe for the coffee chain represents a major milestone for the brand, which opened its first store in 2005.

“We’re really excited to be bringing that to Tauranga Crossing,’ said brothers and owners of the new location, Harj and Sukhdev Singh.

“We’ve hired a fantastic team of people. They’ve got a lot of experience, which is important, as we want to deliver the great service that The Coffee Club is known for. Especially, as we’re the 60th store. It’s an honour to be part of such an achievement.”

The Coffee Club directors, Brad Jacobs and Andy Lucas, said they are thrilled to see the brand continue to thrive and grow.

“We take a lot of pride in how we’ve grown, but that’s down to having skilled, passionate people on board and making sure that we’re in the right locations. Tauranga Crossing is a really nice development for the area and one that fits our ethos of having a relaxing time and enjoying yourself,” said Jacobs.
