Café Coffee Day (abbreviated as CCD) is an Indian café chain owned by Coffee Day Global Limited, a subsidiary of Coffee Day Enterprises Limited. Coffee Day serves 1.8 billion cups of coffee, annually, in six countries.[3]

History

Cafe Coffee Day Global limited Company is a Chikkamagaluru based business which grows coffee in its own estates of 12, 000 acres.[4] It is the largest producer of arabica beans in Asia exporting to various countries including USA, Europe and Japan.[5]

Original logo

Café Coffee Day was started as a retail restaurant in 1996.[6] The first CCD outlet was set up on July 11, 1996, at Brigade Road, Bengaluru, Karnataka. It rapidly expanded across various cities in India adding more stores with more than 1000 cafés open across the nation by 2011.

In 2010, it was announced that a consortium led by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts would invest ₹10 billion (US$140 million) in Coffee Day Resorts, owned by the company.[7] The same year, the logo was changed to the current logo, which the company stated was to showcase the chain as a place to talk.[8] This was done with major changes in the layout of the stores, including the addition of lounges and a total revamp of the interiors.[9]

The company is known for being vertical integrated to cut costs: from owning the plantations,[4] growing the coffee,[4] making the coffee machines[10] to making the furniture for the outlets.[4]

Outlets

As of March 2015, there are 1530 outlets across 28 states of India.[11] Cafe Coffee Day has also expanded outside India with its outlets in Austria (Vienna), Czech Republic, Malaysia, Egypt and Nepal.[3]
