South African Coffee Giant Vida e Caffè Marks 300th Store Milestone

Vida e Caffè achieved a major milestone when they opened their 300th South African outlet in Secunda Mpumalanga making it Vida e Caffè’s 23 year anniversary milestone.

Vida e Caffè started its operations in Cape Town street cafés in 2001 and currently holds the title of South Africa’s biggest branded coffee network. The business runs from stores on main streets, drive-thru spaces, and stores within key brands such as Shell, Sasol, SPAR, and Builders Warehouse. Our 500th store opening shows our progress as a company backed by the strong commitment of everyone who made this achievement possible according to CEO Darren Levy.
