NOZIPAJI TAVERN odlo
Owner: Malixole Dl
How did you get into the tavern trade and what challenges do you face in this industry? I wanted to work for myself and that is how I started my tavern. My main concern is that if my business is not growing at a steady pace, I will not be sure on how to get that momentum going again to keep it growing at a steady pace. Being a tavern owner, what part of this business do you enjoy the most? I love the people the most! My patrons are my family and I look forward to hearing about the happenings in their daily lives when they visit my tavern. We are one big happy family! What role has Club 10 played in the success of your business? They painted my tavern beautifully and it looks wonderful. Thank you Club 10! What are your top-selling liquor brands?

MUSIC KITCHEN CLUB ze
Owner: Victor Chin
How did you get into the tavern trade and what challenges do you face in this industry? My friend called me and told me that Music Kitchen Club was on the market to purchase. I was interested in the opportunity, decided to view the tavern, liked it and bought it! The challenge that I face is that there are too many taverns next to each other on the same street. Currently, we have six taverns and two bottle stores all trading on the same street!
What are your top-selling liquor brands? My top-selling brands would be Heineken 650ml, Castle Lite 660ml and Black Label 750ml. As a tavern owner, how do you give back to your community?
