SMELL THE COFFEE

COLOMBIAN cafe chain Juan Valdez will be opening a flagship shop in Madrid as part of its plans to have over 100 outlets across Spain by 2027.

The coffee retailer will open its new store in Madrid’s 36-storey Torre Caleido skyscraper next month.

It already has four Juan Valdez Ex - press stores in Madrid’s La Gavia, El Ferial, Príncipe Pío and Plenilunio shopping centres, primarily catering for take-away customers. However, the new flagship store will feature indoor and outdoor seating alongside a retail space and it will also offer a coffee-based cocktail menu during the evening.
