“Overall, I believe 2022 is a year of analysis. The plan had envisaged fast growth in 2019, we stopped in 2020, and we’re now reconsidering restarting the business at full capacity in 2023,” says Vasi Andreica.

He adds 2022 is the best year for the company in terms of street coffee shops, but those located in office areas are still coping with 50% declines against 2019.

For this year, projected revenues at the level of the coffee chain range between EUR7-8 million. A more precise value will be possible as late as September, when the entrepreneur expects a demand pickup once schools restart.

Beside the coffee shop unit, Vasi Andreica also has a coffee distribution business.
