Cafe Barbera to launch a flagship location Colosseum Mall

Colosseum Mall is set to welcome the iconic Italian brand Cafe Barbera, which will open a flagship location within the shopping centre. The brand is being introduced locally by Hotspot Brands, the company holding the master franchise agreement for Cafe Barbera in Romania.

Andrei Garoseanu, Managing Partner of Hotspot Brands, commented:
"We selected Colosseum Mall as the location for Cafe Barbera’s flagship store in Romania due to its strategic positioning and its appeal to a premium customer base, both from Bucharest and its surrounding areas. These customers value and seek the high standards of quality that Cafe Barbera consistently delivers. We are thrilled to open this flagship coffee shop, which I believe will become a landmark destination for coffee enthusiasts in Romania."

Doinița Ilie, Leasing & Marketing Director at Colosseum Mall, added:
"We are witnessing steady growth in the premium coffee segment, and, for this reason, our objective is to align with this trend and meet the increasingly sophisticated expectations of our customers. We are delighted to bring an authentic Italian coffee experience to Colosseum Mall, in partnership with Cafe Barbera, within a contemporary and welcoming setting. Through this initiative, we are not only supporting an entrepreneurial venture and a premium product but also contributing to the education and strengthening of coffee culture in Romania."
