Melton foodies can start preparing their taste buds, with a new cafe famous for it’s monster milkshakes coming in late 2020.
The Jolly Miller Cafe is expanding into Melton, bringing its instagrammable creations to the west for the first time as one of four new stores in Victoria.
New stores will also open in Manor Lakes and Tarneit, while a Croydon store opened last week.
The new locations are expected to create80 jobs across the four stores.
Jolly Miller Group co-founder, Rimon Barber said they were looking forward to joining the Melton community later in the year.
“We are all about the local community and that is what has led to our success; we create an ambience and a place where people want to meet and connect with one
another, we like to see ourselves as makers of memorable moments,“ Mr Barber said.
The cafe has become famous in the inner suburbs of Melbourne for its milkshake creations, along with mouth-watering breakfasts and a vegan-friendly menu,
Despite challenging times for the hospitality industry, Mr Barber said the success of their stores throughout the pandemic was a positive for those communities.
“Even though we opened our doors in the middle of a pandemic and with no dine-in option throughout April and May, we kept our doors open to serve the community and they supported us from the outset,“ he said.
“We believe the current climate will make our cafes stronger. As a suburban-based model, we’re finding more people are staying in their local areas and spending on
items at cafes, after all – everyone still needs to eat and drink.”
