Interview with Mr. Nabi Saleh, the Executive Chairman for Gloria Jean's Coffees

Specialty coffee chain Gloria Jean’s Coffees, which silently entered India two years ago via a master franchise agreement with Citymax Hospitality, a company controlled by the Dubai-based retail group Landmark, is looking to ramp up operations now. From the current nine outlets, the intention is to scale up to 25 and then 100 by the end of 2013. This will see the privately-held coffee chain, which has 917 outlets globally, go to 16 cities from the current four. Nabi Saleh, the New-South-Wales, Australia-based executive chairman of Gloria Jean’s Coffees, talks about the company’s plans in India

The Coffee King: Howard Schultz is Born

“I wanted to be in charge of my own destiny,” says Howard Schultz. “It may be a weakness in me: I'm always wondering what I'll do next. Enough is never enough.” Schultz used this weakness to his advantage, taking the U.S. by storm with his vision of a coffee shop the likes of which the country had never seen before. Today, as a so-called ‘third home’, Starbucks has revolutionized not only the coffee industry but also society at large.

The Donut King: The Early Years of Ron Joyce

He grew up in rural Nova Scotia in a house without plumbing and a wood stove for heating. Today, he has eight cars, owns a $60 million golf club resort, and has so much money he has even offered to fly people on trips anywhere in the world if they can help improve his golf swing. How did Ron Joyce get to where he is today? He did it by building a tiny coffee shop by the name of Tim Horton’s into one of Canada’s most beloved and successful brands.

Dollars for Doughnuts: Joyce Sweetens Things Up at Tim Hortons

It was 1967 and two men had just signed the franchise agreement that would forever change not only their own lives, but also the entire landscape of Canadian business and culture. The two friends thought that with Joyce’s business savvy and Horton’s famous name, they could make their coffee shop a success. By the end of the year, the duo had opened up two more Tim Horton’s stores and they were full partners in the business.

Lesson #3: Create a Fresh Focus For Your Company

The moment Joyce assumed ownership control of Tim Hortons, he knew something had to change. His hockey star partner had a good idea in the coffee shop, but its success – or lack thereof – was speaking for itself. Joyce did everything he could to turn things around, from expanding the food menu to include sandwiches and altering the doughnut recipes, to adding iced cappuccinos to the drink list. But it was not until Joyce stumbled upon a unique business practice that the chain would begin to take off. The company’s new motto? “Always Fresh.”

Lesson #4: Build A Brand That Can Stand On Its Own

In both 2004 and 2005, Canadian Business magazine named Tim Hortons the best-managed brand in Canada. Joyce may no longer be with the company, but that honour is in no small part due to the successful marketing strategy that he initiated in the company’s early years. With a focus on grassroots and Canadian culture, Joyce created a brand that has inspired a nation’s pride and has stood the test of time.

Getting The Hole Story: How Joyce Came To Dominate The Donut

Thanks to Joyce, Canada has been called by some the “Timbit Nation.” Even the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have an unofficial radio code for Tim Hortons, as 10-99 or “Tango Hotel.” Every single day, for a product that costs just pennies to make, Tim Hortons brings in revenues of over $2 billion. How was this young boy from rural Nova Scotia who grew up on welfare able to become one of Canada’s most celebrated and successful businessmen?
