Tchibo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tchibo is a German chain of coffee shops/cafés, but is better known for its weekly changing range. Typical specials are clothing, household items, electronics and electrical appliances. Tchibo's German slogan is Jede Woche eine neue Welt (German for: Every week a new world), and in The UK Tchibo also has the slogan Add a little O to your life.
Tchibo was founded in 1949 in Hamburg by Carl Tchilling-Hiryan and Max Herz and still maintains its headquarters in the city's North. The name Tchibo is an abbreviation for Tchilling and Bohnen (beans, meaning coffee beans). During the formative years Tchibo concentrated on a mail order service of freshly roasted coffee beans. These were produced in the company's own roasting facility in the Hamburg district of Hoheluft.
In the Nineties Tchibo began to expand to countries outside of Germany, and it currently has shops in Switzerland, Austria, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Poland, the Czech Republic and Turkey. Its coffee is sold in supermarkets in Romania, Hungary, The Ukraine and Russia.
