History
Second Cup started as a company in 1975 as a shopping mall kiosk that only sold whole bean coffee. Second Cup still lags behind in sales and international representation after all these years. In the Canadian market, however, Second cup has become the largest Canadian owned specialty coffee retailer. Second Cup has spread to 360 coffee shops across Canada and 15 coffee shops internationally in countries such as Turkey, Lebanon, Kuwait, The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Oman. (Second Cup Coffee, 2000) The Second Cup’s menu has over 30 premium coffees, specialty beverages as well as complimentary food items. In 2002, Second Cup became part of the Cara operation family chain of restaurants. (Second Cup: Our Story, 2008).
