, developed by analytics firm AlphaBeta, a part of Accenture, and credit bureau illion, shows cafe purchases across the state are now higher than before the coronavirus.Advertisement
Ashley Wilderink, owner of the Brothers Ben cafe in Petersham, says coffee sales during the week are up “a huge amount” compared to before the pandemic. The Brothers Ben cafe was forced to close for a fortnight in the early stages of the pandemic after a customer with a reported case of coronavirus visited. It has been serving only takeaway food and drinks since then.
“One could intimate that people are wanting to get rid of their COVID kilos and start getting ready for summer,” said illion chief executive Simon Bligh.
