GET ready for another coffee chain, with Adelaide’s CIBO Espresso planning to tempt east coast cities with Italian-style pastries and coffee.
After testing the interstate markets by opening two Brisbane outlets since May last year, the CIBO group will now roll out up to 60 stores on the east coast over the next few years.The CIBO Espresso chain, priding itself on quality coffee, pastries and gelato, expects a 60-outlet business to generate about $20 million in turnover.
Founded by four directors all aged 40 or under – Roberto Cardone, Claudio Ferraro, Angelo Inglese and Salvatore Pepe – CIBO’s first restaurant, on O’Connell St at North Adelaide, was opened in 1996 and its first espresso outlet opened four years later on Rundle St.
Now with 11 outlets in key metropolitan shopping strips in Adelaide, CIBO’s interstate focus will be New South Wales and Queensland.
The company also plans to open pastry manufacturing kitchens in NSW and Queensland to supply the stores
