Franchisees and husband and wife team Paul and Jodi Brown are going from strength to strength with The Coffee Club, just opening an outlet at the new DFO complex at Cairns. The couple also own The Coffee Club stores at Earlville Cairns and Port Douglas.

Paul, who runs a financial planning firm, said he and his wifeÍs decision to buy into The Coffee Club franchise was one of the easier decisions they had made. “The Coffee Club has fantastic brand-recognition and is very popular throughout Australia. It also has great systems and processes in place for franchisees,” he said.

“Our team is passionate about providing good food, great service and excellent coffee and as a result our existing stores in Stocklands Earlville and Port Village in Port Douglas are very successful with strong support from our regular customers. We believe our new store in DFO Cairns will be just as popular with the local community and we look forward to ensuring our guestsÍ experience is one to remember.”

The Coffee Club DFO, which will serve light meals, gourmet sandwiches, coffee, cakes and beverages, has provided a raft of new job opportunities for locals, taking on up to 10 new staff members. The Coffee Club DFO Cairns is open seven days, 9.30am to 6pm.

The Coffee Club operates more than 200 stores throughout Australia and New Zealand, serving more than 20 million cups of coffee a year.
