Wayne's Coffee coming to Stvg Sentrum




"American" style - coffee & pastries, plus soup/sandwiches/American bagels...



Begun in Stockholm in 1994

100 shops, I guess 101 maybe if they count this new one in Stavanger opening up soon - prob. by summer when all the cruise ships start coming thru the harbor...

Job postings started early March, so over a month ago - ad ran in Norwegian, "Drive egen kaffeebar?" but if you translate one line under that reads: Scandinavia's largest cafe chain is now to Stavanger Storsenter...they want to win the hearts of Norwegians - cup for cup....
Today in Sentrum see there's sign in the windows across from the Steam Cafe?! One on every corner, a cafe that is - but thankfully it's not a StarBucks?! (I must be one of the few who care...)



March 25th they opened a franchise in Beijing, China & 2 more due to open is the news so I'm guessing 1 of them is here in Stavanger...




As a franchise it states on their webpage: "To do business with us you have to appreciate the Scandinavian spirit of our company. We are entrepreneurial in our minds, straight forward in the way we communicate, honest in the way we do business and curious about the world."

Note:
words & photos borrowed from these 2 links, so far only Oslo franchises in Norway mentioned - can only hope the new Stavanger franchise will have something of it's own online soon?!
