Cafe2U Mobile Espresso Van Makes Its Debut in Eugene, OR
Serena and Steve Liu Open the First Oregon Franchise for Cafe2U, a Fast-Growing Australian Coffee Brand
(firmenpresse) - EUGENE, OR -- (Marketwire) -- 06/28/12 -- Now the coffee shop can now come to you.
Serena and Steve Liu's Cafe2U mobile espresso van has been serving customers in Eugene since February, delivering gourmet espresso drinks to office parks, construction sites, banks and other business locations where workers can't easily get to a favorite coffee shop.
In less than five months, it's turned into a roaring success. The Lius have exceeded their sales projections; the market in Eugene has responded so well that the Lius are adding a second van.
It's the kind of performance Cafe2U is looking for; the company is a fast-growing franchise system in its native Australia and the United Kingdom that's just beginning an aggressive American expansion. Cafe2U USA eventually wants 1,000 of its vans operating in the United States, and entrepreneurs like the Lius are helping the company gain an American foothold.
"The trick is finding the little niche -- smaller businesses that don't have an espresso machine, that are too far away from a coffee shop and with workers who are tired of the horrible drip coffee," Serena Liu said. "We have several clients like that, and they are practically beating down the door to get to us when we arrive."
Cafe2U's approach to business is unique -- a gourmet coffee shop on wheels. Cafe2U espresso vans have real espresso machines and baristas. The vans build customer bases by following weekday routes and arriving at the same stops at the same time each day.
"Everybody loves really good coffee, but not everybody has a coffee shop near their home or their office," said Scott Bundy, president and CEO for Cafe2U USA.
Cafe2U was founded in Sydney in 2000 and began franchising five years later, quickly growing from 12 vans in the Sydney area to more than 200 vans operating throughout Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The company's coffee won a medal at the 2010 CSR Golden Bean Roasting Competition, where it competed against more than 1,200 blends. Cafe2U USA is headquartered in Bend, OR.
