The Xpresso concept delivers a fresh, premium service to what is the world’s most consumed beverage (behind water), coffee. The Xpresso Concept was born when Darren Schultz, the company founder, decided to take coffee to people instead of them having to visit a coffee shop for the popular brew.
Schultz, who has been in business since he was 22 years of age, witnessed the rise of the coffee phenomenon whilst owning a hairdressing salon on Park Road, Milton, which at the time was Brisbane’s cafe mecca.
The first Xpresso started in Milton, Brisbane in 2002, offering fresh cafe quality coffee directly to the desks of the local workers. Every Xpresso Mobile Coffee Van can produce the full range of hot and cold beverages that are found in a traditional coffee shop. Customers can choose to come out to the operator for their break or stay in their office or boardroom and have us deliver it to them. Each van is run by three operational virtues – friendliness, cleanliness and quality.
Xpresso is positioned as a friendly and professional mobile coffee outlet that specialise in the event market as well as the Monday to Friday routes. The Xpresso business model has strong commercial viability and consumer appeal, capitalising on increasing demand for fresh espresso coffee.
The overwhelming response of the first operation in 2002 led to the quick succession of additional vans within several months. Schultz firmly believes that people have been instrumental to the success of Xpresso which is built on passion, quality and hard work.
The success of the concept led to the decision to franchise the business, an exciting move that allowed Xpresso to reach the next stage in development and establish itself as Australia’s Number 1 mobile coffee system!
"Thankyou for giving me this wonderful opportunity to have and run my own business. To set myself a goal and be able to acheive it, as planned, is a very rewarding feeling - you enabled me to do this."
"Over the past four and a half years I owned the Xpresso business. I absolutly loved it and all of my customers, many of whom are good freinds now and probably will be for a long time to come."
