Blenz Coffee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blenz Coffee (aka Blenz The Canadian Coffee Company) is a Canadian franchise chain of coffee shops. The first shop was opened on Robson Street, Vancouver, British Columbia in 1992 by Geoffrey Hair, Brian Noble and Sarah Moen. Currently, the President is George Moen. The chain has since grown to include a network of 82 franchised locations, 47 in British Columbia, Canada and 35 international stores in Japan, China, United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.
While mainly a coffee house, Blenz also has a line of hot chocolate drinks made from Belgian chocolate chips and steamed milk. Like many other coffee houses, Blenz offers wireless internet access in 20 of its locations.
On October 2, 2006 Blenz Coffee acquired four former Seattle's Best Coffee locations, all located in Vancouver. The locations opened as Blenz Coffee stores the following Monday morning.
