Die geskiedenis van Lita's Koffierestaurant in Vanderbijlpark.
Dit was altyd 'n droom van my om eendag my eie koffierestaurant te kon hê.
Ek het vir 11 jaar as sekretaresse by Yskor Landgoed in Vanderbijlpark gewerk waar ek ook gehelp het met bestuuretes en funksies. Hier het my belagstelling in bak begin. Nadat Yskor Landgoed gerasionaliseer is, moes ek iets anders begin om 'n inkomste te genereer. Met twee klein dogtertjies wat nog voorskool was, moes ek iets drasties doen.
My pa, 'n bekende sakeman in Vanderbijlpark, het my gehelp om 'n gedeelte van sy besigheid se stoor in 'n klein koffiewinkel te omskep. Dit was die ontstaan van "Candle in the Wind" in Vanderbijlpark in 2001. Met baie trane, harde werk en die hulp van my ma het ons stadig maar seker bekend geraak in Vanderbijlpark.
Omdat ons besluit het dat al ons lekkernye altyd vars moet wees, het ons alles self gebak. Met die verloop van jare het die besigheid van krag tot krag gegaan.
Aan die einde van 2014 kry ek 'n geleentheid om Candles na 'n ander perseel te verskuif waar ek glo dit beter vir my, sowel as my kliënte is. Januarie 2015 open ons, ons deure in Rossini Boulevard 49, SW1, Vanderbijlpark.
Ek is baie dankbaar vir almal wat my gehelp het om tot hier te kom, veral my ouers en my man wat my nog altyd ondersteun het.
Ek vertrou al my bestaande sowel as nuwe kliënte sal baie lekker hier by my kom kuier.
A little bit of history about Lita's Coffee Shop In Vanderbijlpark.
For 11 years I have been working as a secretary at Iscor in Vanderbijlpark where I was exposed to management meals and functions. This was where my interest in baking started. After Iscor rationalized, I realized that I had to start my own business in order to generate an income for me and my two daughters that were pre-school. Drastic steps had to be taken.
My father, a well known business man in Vanderbijlpark helped me by turning a section of his business into a small coffee shop. That was the start of ‘Candle in the Wind’ in Vanderbijlpark 2001.
It took hard work and a lot of tears, but slowly but surely our small coffee shop started to become a well-known beacon in Vanderbijlpark.
We decided that all our products had to be fresh and therefore we bake everything ourselves.
As the years went by, the coffee shop kept on growing in stature.
At the end of 2014 an opportunity arose to move Candles to another, bigger premises in Vanderbijlpark. As I believed that the move would benefit me and my clients, I decided to carry out the move.
January 2015 we opened the doors of our new coffee shop, Candles Coffee Shop at 49 RossinI Boulevard, SW1, Vanderbijlpark .
I am really thankful to everyone who participated in my success, especially my parents and my husband who were always there to support me.
I trust that all my old and new clients will enjoy their regular visits to Lita's Coffee Shop.
