After a long absence in the area, coffee house franchise, Aromas, is making a comeback in Brisbane’s inner west, opening a store in Milton in January 2010.

This is very exciting for us because Milton is evolving into a sophisticated business precinct and dining centre, said Aromas director, Andrew Skarparis.

The Milton franchise will be Aromas third store in Brisbane, specifically targeting local businesses and providing corporate catering as a specialty.

It’s a perfect fit,said Skarparis. Our cafes reflect the original European coffee houses where people met to exchange ideas, broker business deals and immerse themselves in contemporary culture.

The franchisee for the Milton store, located in the new 19 Lang Parade commercial development, is Elisa Frangiosa, who has previously owned Italian restaurant Ragazzi’s, in Lutwyche.

The new store will seat 100 people and will be open from 6am to 5pm Monday to Friday.
