Muzz Buzz

Muzz Buzz

Muzz Buzz is an Australian owned and operated drive-through coffee franchise chain, originating in Perth, Western Australia. Established in the metropolitan suburb of Belmont, Western Australia in 2001, Muzz Buzz has seen rapid expansion in recent years. Following a "carbon-copy" franchise model, Muzz Buzz locations can be found over 35 locations within the Perth metropolitan area, and has 10 stores in Victoria, 2 in QLD, 2 in SA and 2 in New Zealand.

Muzz Buzz was formed in response to growing Australian tastes for premium coffee which was, at the time, not commonly available within the Perth metropolitan area in drive-through form.

Franchising of the brand commenced in 2004, with individual outlets closely resembling the original design and ethos. The first franchised outlet was established in Mosman Park by Warren Reynolds, who was instrumental in the mass expansion of the franchise to additional Perth locations. Sporting a distinctive design, reminiscent of an oversized coffee cup, the stores are adorned with the standard corporate colouration of white, green, and purple.

Expansion into non-Western Australian markets began in 2006, with potential sites earmarked in New South Wales, South Australia, Queensland and Victoria. As of February 2014^[update], Muzz Buzz had 56 operating drive thru outlets in four Australian states. Internationally, franchise rights have been sold to Belarus for the Eastern Bloc, Turkey and the Middle East, South Africa, New Zealand (two stores), United Kingdom and Singapore, with advanced negotiations ongoing for future North American based operations. Additionally, Reynolds has mentioned in interviews that the company has received expressions of interest from China.

Muzz Buzz is a member of the Franchise Council of Australia, and has been ranked as one of the top 10 franchises within Australia in 2012 based on an independent review of franchisors by 10 Thousand Feet.

Regent Theatre (Brisbane)

Regent Theatre (Brisbane)

Regent Theatre is a heritage-listed cinema at 167 Queen Street, Brisbane City, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia (on the Queen Street Mall). It was designed by Richard Gailey, Junior, Charles N Hollinshed, and Aaron Bolot and built from 1928 to 1929 by J & E L Rees and A J Dickenson. It was one of the original Hoyts' Picture Palaces from the 1920s. It is also known as Regent Building. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.

The Regent Theatre in Brisbane was constructed as the first and only American-style picture palace to be built in Queensland. It reflects the opulence and grandeur of the great Hollywood era and was one of many operated by Hoyts in Australia.

Other significant Regent Cinemas around Australia were the Regent in George Street, Sydney (now demolished), the Regent on the Rundle Mall in Adelaide which is now converted into a shopping mall and the Regent Melbourne on Collins Street, restored in the 1990s and now a major successful live theatre for Melbourne. The Regent Theatre, Dunedin in New Zealand was adapted for live performances in the 1970s and continues to be used for those and as a cinema. Smaller Regent cinemas include the Regent in downtown Ballarat, Victoria, now remodelled into a multi-screen complex.

The picture palaces were built to imitate Hollywood's Golden Era and were designed to function as a cinema and theatre. The Regent in Brisbane was designed by Melbourne architect, Charles N. Hollinshed, with assistance from the Brisbane-based Richard Gailey Junior and Aaron Bolot. It was erected in 1929 and opened on 8 November. Construction costs totaled ₤300,000.

Shingle Inn

The Shingle Inn is a restaurant and bakery franchise headquartered in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

The Shingle Inn opened in 1936 at 254 Edward Street, Brisbane in 1936 as a Tudor inn style restaurant.

The Shingle Inn is a considerably well known aspect of Brisbane's dining culture, where it has welcomed generations of diners, and was also popular with American service personnel during World War II. It is one of the oldest continuing restaurants in the city of Brisbane. It has been owned since 1975 by the Bellchambers Family.

With the closure of the flagship store in 2002 due to the new Queens Plaza development, the fittings of the store were removed and placed into storage. A franchise of the restaurant was created with a dozen stores throughout the Brisbane central business district, suburbs, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.

With the re-opening of Brisbane City Hall after its $215 million refurbishment in April 2013, the fittings and layout of the original Shingle Inn in Edward Street were replaced inside Brisbane City Hall, re-creating the olde-world Tudor atmosphere of the original 1936 restaurant. The sugar bowls used in the restored city hall branch bear the engraved names of the Shingle Inn and other former Brisbane cafes (Renoir, Websters, Yorktown) that were owned by the Webster and Bellchambers families.

The Shingle Inn has a franchise network of over 50 cafes in Queensland, New South Wales, ACT, Victoria and most recently Perth.

Silver Star Cafe (Port Hedland)

Silver Star Cafe (Port Hedland)

The Silver Star Cafe is currently closed as part of a renovations and lease renewal project. There is an expectation in the town that it will open again in March 2016, but there have been no announcements to confirm this (as at 16 January 2016). The 'Star' restaurant is in the west end of Port Hedland, Western Australia. Its kitchen and lounge area are housed within a historic preserved railway carriage, and it has an alfresco deck alongside.

A project of BHP Billiton Iron Ore and FORM, with support from Town of Port Hedland, Boom Logistics and Laing O'Rourke, the cafe was officially opened by the Premier of Western Australia, Colin Barnett, on 26 October 2010.

The railway carriage that is now the nucleus of the Silver Star Cafe was built by the Budd Company in 1939, for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, commonly known as the Burlington. A "diner-parlour and observation car", it was assigned the fleet number 301, and was named the Silver Star.

Together with two passenger cars, the Silver Leaf and the Silver Eagle, and a power car, the Silver Charger, the Silver Star made up the General Pershing Zephyr, a streamliner train named after General John 'Black Jack' Pershing. On 30 April 1939, the train made its inaugural passenger trip between St Louis and Kansas City, Missouri, in the midwest of the USA.

Answer 8

Zarraffas Coffee

Zarraffa's Coffee

Zarraffa's Coffee is a semi national coffee house chain located primarily in Queensland, Australia and with franchises in Western Australia and New South Wales.

Zarraffa's Coffee, established in 1996 by Kenton Campbell, was originally a roasting house operating from the backstreets of Southport on the Gold Coast. It opened its first store on the Gold Coast with three tables and nine chairs in 1996. Currently, the Zarraffa's Coffee group now has 70 stores throughout Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia.

Campbell, a seasoned coffee-cart owner from Seattle, Washington, was headhunted to Australia as a consultant in 1995. Relations with his employer soured and he ended up on the Gold Coast with his physiotherapist - now wife and mother of his three sons. In the first Zarraffa's Coffee outlet, financed with a $9,000 personal loan, which was located "in the middle of nowhere" - a ghost-town shopping arcade where the only attraction was low rent and a post office next door, became a favoured cafe spot, drawing a big enough crowd for Kenton to negotiate a better position in the arcade.

By the end of 2007, Zarraffa's had 35 stores, including its first Drive Thru.

By 2009 the company had 40 stores, including a second Drive Thru in Toowoomba and a Central Queensland store at Rockhampton. Also in 2009 Kenton Campbell launched Ecoforce, a non-profit charitable foundation established to act as a framework to source and channel funding into necessary research; to investigate, in a highly transparent way pressing environmental and conservation issues.

In March 2010, acclaimed ABC show, Australian Story featured Kenton Campbell and his journey from an unfortunate childhood, to coffee entrepreneur and then conservationist.
