Franchisee Awards 2012

Celebrating Columbus Coffee Franchisee Success

November 2012 saw the whole of the Columbus business come together in Auckland for a two day conference to look at where the future and 2013 is taking us; and to celebrate the successes of 2012, the opening of the 50th Columbus Coffee café, which opened recently in Christchurch and 10 years as New Zealand’s leading premium franchise café group.
