In July 2023, Rosinter Restaurants registered the domains cafeteria lalibela and cafeteria lalibela. After the Costa Coffee brand left Russia, the restaurant holding company chose Russian coffee producer Lalibela Coffee as a supplier of exclusive blends for the company’s cafeterias and restaurants.
Now Rosinter plans to develop a chain of coffee shops in partnership with Lalibela Coffee and is preparing for a rebrand, the details of which have yet to be revealed, writes Kommersant.
Cooperation with the beverage manufacturer will allow the restaurant holding company to reduce the cost of purchasing raw materials, according to experts.
