Transcend to Open Drive Thru Espresso Bar

Written by Poul Mark |  April 1, 2009
After months (if not years) of customer requests, Transcend has finally made the move to opening another venue.  After long hours of planning and negotiations, Transcend has secured a venue (location yet to be disclosed) which will serve as its first Drive Thru espresso bar.  Josh Hockin, long-time barista and now member of the management team calls this a "bold move for Transcend, and a trend setting decision that will shape the coffee culture in Edmonton for years to come."  The new drive thru espresso bar will feature the Twitter menu, which will enable customers to tweet in their order before arriving at the window.  While it may reduce the contact time with the customers, "it will exponentially increase the flow-through capabilities of Transcend, without compromising the quality in any way, whatsoever", comments Chad Moss, roaster and competition barista for Transcend.  Details are still being worked out on the exact operational perameters of the new outlet, and as soon as the documents are signed, Transcend will announce the location of its exciting new Drive Thru espresso bar.

    Wow. Trendsetting? How is this trendsetting. Tim Hortons has been doing it for years, and a while back there were several drive thru coffee shacks in town. All now gone because it was a stupid idea. Good luck with this.

    I saw that the failed chicken joint on the airport road is being re-furbished. Could this be it?
