From a humble beginning in 1975 as a shopping mall kiosk that only sold whole bean coffee, Second Cup has become the largest Canadian-owned specialty coffee retailer. And since its inception, Second Cup has grown to more than 360 cafés across Canada and over 15 cafés internationally, making Second Cup a second home to hundreds of guests every day.
In addition to our locations our product line has also grown from simple whole bean coffee to more than 30 premium coffees, specialty beverages, complementary foods and merchandise items. In 2002, Second Cup became a member of the Cara Operations family of restaurants, which include Milestones, Kelsey’s, Montana’s, Swiss Chalet, and Harvey's.
On November 14, 2006, Second Cup became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dinecorp Hospitality Inc, a company controlled by Gabe Tsampalieros, Chairman of Second Cup and former CEO of CARA. |
