Coffee chain, Jamaica Blue is opening its seventh site in New Zealand at Auckland’s Greenlane Clinical Centre.
It’s the second of the brand’s cafes to open in a medical facility in Auckland – late last year Jamaica Blue opened the city’s first hospital-based cafe at Auckland Hospital.
Six of the chain’s cafes are in Auckland.
The Greenlane Clinical Centre on Greenlane Road focuses on Auckland District Health Board outpatient services and day stay surgery.
New Zealand operations manager Jon Hassall says the Auckland Hospital café has been exceptionally well received.
“Greenlane follows on from the instant success of the Jamaica Blue Auckland Hospital cafe which opened in November last year,” said Jon Hassall, operations manager NZ.
“It quickly became one of our busiest cafes, not only in New Zealand, but also worldwide.”
“Spending time in any medical situation can be stressful and we believe everybody should take a little time out of their day to recharge, relax and reflect; to stop for a while and simply enjoy the moment.
“And if speed is of the essence as it often is in hospital, there’s a quick order coffee kiosk to keep any wait to a minimum.”
Owned by Foodco Group – which also has the Muffin Break brand – Jamaica Blue operates in more than 160 cafes globally.
