Illy Caffe Oman opens its second store
Al Araimi Boulevard in Al Khoudh is the new destination for Illy Caffe fans. The second store was opened recently by H.E. Federica Favi, Ambassador of the Republic of Italy to Oman. Speaking on the sidelines of the opening, he said, “Coffee is a key aspect of Italian lifestyle. Having an espresso means sharing ideas, doing business or simply enjoying life. This approach is shared by the Omani people, who can now get a new, authentic Italian experience in Muscat.” Since it opened in 2015, Illy Caffe has continued to serve its customers specialist coffee blends and gourmet foods, bringing a true taste of Italian lifestyle and culture to the Sultanate. Founded 75 years ago, Illy is available in 140 countries with more than 50 percent of coffee sales generated outside of its domestic market.
