Chief Executive Officer of Taste Holdings, Carlo Gonzaga said: “Our new store opening comes during a time when coffee culture in Durban is thriving, and we are excited to be part of this growth.
"Florida Road carries so much history, much like Starbucks. We want to open stores that become a third place – a place that becomes part of the community and where people come together to create genuine connections, make memories, and be part of something special. We are honoured to be part of this heritage site,” he said.
