Brioche On-The-Go! is a new coffee shop concept launched by Société Pétrolière that will be explored at SP Stations. While Société Pétrolière imports and distributes petroleum products, Brioche got its start as an East African network of bakeries and cafes in Rwanda. Together, their new concept will help to pour back into Rwanda and neighboring countries.
The coffee shop concept at SP Stations will put a spotlight on products from local suppliers, including tea from the Rwanda Mountain Tea Company and coffee from the Hingakawa coffee co-op. The latter is powered by a group of more than 500 women, who bring the coffee they've grown each year to the co-op for sorting, drying and selling.
