Te Rapa Service Centre<br />
gets The Coffee Club<br />
The Coffee Club New Zealand has opened<br />
the doors to The Coffee Club Te Rapa<br />
Service Centre in Hamilton.<br />
Hamilton’s first true<br />
motorway service centre<br />
sits on the major<br />
entrance route to Hamilton.<br />
Anchored by BP, it is home<br />
to a number of iconic retail<br />
brands. The Coffee Club Te<br />
Rapa Service Centre holds a<br />
prime spot next to the newly<br />
opened Perry Bike Park.<br />
The launch is a fairly re-<br />
cent development. Only recently,<br />
store owner, Richard<br />
Sun, was heading up The Coffee<br />
Club Centreplace. However,<br />
the lease expired and<br />
Richard was left with a team<br />
and equipment but no building.<br />
The Coffee Club swung<br />
into action and found Richard<br />
a new location in record time.<br />
“I can’t believe how quick-<br />
ly The Coffee Club head office<br />
pinpointed a new building<br />
for us. Everything was<br />
organised before we knew it<br />
and they helped us move everything<br />
across to the new site<br />
within a matter of days,” explains<br />
Richard. “That support<br />
- the fact that they are behind<br />
us 100 percent - is one of the<br />
reasons I really enjoy being a<br />
The Coffee Club franchisee.”<br />
“We had a great time at The<br />
Coffee Club Centreplace and<br />
hope that our customers will<br />
come and visit us at Te Rapa<br />
Service Centre,” adds Richard.<br />
“I’ve brought my entire team<br />
with me and they are all very<br />
excited about getting started.<br />
It’s a bigger space than where<br />
we were before and has a really<br />
good atmosphere.”<br />
The Coffee Club co-directors,<br />
Brad Jacobs and Andy<br />
Lucas, are both pleased that<br />
they were able to get Richard<br />
and his team into a new location<br />
so quickly.<br />
“It was important to us that<br />
we found Richard a great spot<br />
to move to. He has been with<br />
The Coffee Club for almost<br />
seven years now and is a real<br />
asset to the business,” says<br />
Brad. “As luck would have it,<br />
we’d had our eye on the new<br />
Te Rapa Service Centre development<br />
for a while. We ran it<br />
past Richard and he agreed it<br />
would be perfect.”<br />
“We think The Coffee Club<br />
Store owner Richard Sun at the new<br />
The Coffee Club Te Rapa Service Centre.<br />
Te Rapa Service Centre is going<br />
to be very popular,” adds<br />
Brad. “It is conveniently located<br />
for both travellers and<br />
locals. Hungry drivers will be<br />
able to stop for a bite to eat or<br />
a signature blend coffee after<br />
filling up at the BP. It will<br />
also suit Hamilton residents<br />
being only 15 minutes from<br />
the city centre and surrounded<br />
by a number of other retail<br />
brands.”<br />
The Coffee Club Te Rapa<br />
Service Centre has a breakfast,<br />
brunch and lunch menu<br />
that can be ordered any time<br />
of the day. The Coffee Club Te<br />
Rapa Service Centre is open<br />
Mon-Fri from 6:30am-5pm<br />
and Sat-Sun from 7:30am-<br />
5pm. It can be found at the<br />
corner of Te Rapa Road and<br />
Hutchinson Road, Horotiu,<br />
Hamilton.<br />

Tips to market your property<br />
1) – Create atmosphere.<br />
– Make you home as warm and<br />
inviting as possible.<br />
– You could have light music playing<br />
in the background during purchaser<br />
inspections.<br />
