Coffee Republic expanding in Kuwait!
4th November 2008
CR shops in Kuwait
Congratulations to Mr. Mohammed J. Al-Sayegh, the Master Franchisee for Kuwait, and to Mr. Mohammed Abu Yousef, the Operations Manager for Coffee Republic Kuwait. Along with the Coffee Republic training and support team, they were able to get their first two stores open between the 11th and 18th of August, 2008. A special mention goes to Mr. Mohammed Abu Yousef who completed the Coffee Republic Franchisee training and graduation in London in May 2008 and passed with flying colours. This should help them with their future openings with a third store to be open soon.
