A South Wales coffee shop venture has expanded on the back of new investment.
Coffi Co, which was established 2014, has extended its Mermaid Quay outlet in a six-figure investment, that includes a loan from the Development Bank of Wales.
It is now one of the largest coffee shops in Wales.
Improvements include the installation of a new mezzanine floor and outside seating and decking area.
Coffi Co's first store opened in two shipping containers in Porth Teigr in Cardiff Bay.
It now employs a team of 50 staff across five sites including the original Porth Teigr store, Mermaid Quay, Cathays, Penarth Marina and Porthcawl.
Managing Director Justin Carty said: “From day one, we’ve focused on building a business that combines the key ingredients of a great leisure driven location, welcoming atmosphere and the very best coffee.
"We’re keen to continue with our growth strategy by focusing on continually improving and expanding our offer in new exiting leisure driven locations cross South Wales.
Matthew Wilde, assistant investment executive with the Development Bank of Wales, said: “Coffi Co offers quality coffee in a location that showcases Mermaid Quay, and is the perfect spot to work, socialise and meet colleagues, friends and family.
"Justin is committed to ensuring his business delivers a superb customer experience, and takes pride ensuring this standard is consistent across his five stores.
"We are very proud to be supporting Justin in his commitment to providing a unique and quality service to customers across South Wales.”
