“…The findings from this research is very relevant to the current situation which coffee consumption is increasing worldwide (Carvalho, Paiva & Vieira, 2015;Ferreira, 2017;Gonsalves & Dias, 2015;Pleshko & Heiens, 2015) and drinking coffee has becoming a lifestyle (Kim, Kim, Lee & Lee, 2017). Coffee shops or cafes, or any service industries are encouraged to be more competitive and to be distinctive in renewing their concept especially their distinctive identity.…”

Identity is vital when communication takes place. Thus, building a strong brand identity has become a prime marketing concern for many business owners. In previous years, the focus was on the communication between the organisation and the customers. This study extended previous research by focusing on the business concept and identity and their approach of communicating themselves (brand) to the public, a step further in safeguarding a place in the enormous business industry. A qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews ware used to explore the food and beverage industry, focusing on independent coffee shops. The interviews were carried out with five independent coffee shops in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. According to the finding of this research, there is a lacking in the investment on the execution of brand for these independent coffee shops. This research also initiates that the inclusion of (the owner's) roots, identity, and meaning of names are relevant when building an identity of a brand to have a distinctive business concept. This study contributed to our understanding of how brand identity was built and then connected it to the internal culture of the coffee shop. The findings suggested that the process of creating and building a brand identity was more complicated than just producing the visual imagery in order to build and communicate distinctively.

“…Coffee shops may be perceived as attractive places to be, thereby influencing perceptions of the surrounding area (Steel, 2016). As Ferreira (2017) notes:Each individual cafe represents a different site of potential sociability, and therefore has the potential to take a different role in the community. (p. 70)The accrued benefits of sector wide relationships are difficult to determine in the sense that not all relationship outcomes can be measured (Argyle, 1991; Hammervoll, 2009; Matthyssens and van den Bulte, 1994; Moss Kanter, 1994) or attributed to specific organizations.…”

“…The second wave raised the importance of quality in terms of the coffee bean and roast. This phase was energized by the growth of national and international coffee shop chains in the 1990s, which redefined coffee as a differentiated product, experienced within the dedicated space of a coffee shop (Ferreira, 2017; Simmons, 2004). The second wave capitalized on changing urban land use and the availability of newly vacant properties for ‘brandscaping’, where coffee could be sold and consumed in themed spaces to enhance the sensory outcomes of the experience (Bookman, 2014; Nadiri and Gunay, 2013).…”

“…In the United Kingdom, the second wave generated a coffee culture in which coffee shops became social and economic hubs, new businesses moving in to reinhabit vacant space in urban centres (Dobson, 2016). The UK is now host to a varied typology of coffee shop businesses, including global multiples, national chains, franchises and independents (Ferreira, 2017).…”

“…The total value generated by the global coffee industry is US$235 billion (Wheeler, 2016). The speciality coffee sector has grown in popularity and size (Ferreira, 2017; Mintel, 2015) and the independent businesses that make up the majority of this sector have approximately 30% of the UK market share (Allegra Strategies Project Cafe 2016 UK Report, 2015). Speciality coffee is defined by high quality, differentiated coffee products (Carvalho et al, 2016) and discernibly different coffee shop experiences.…”

This conceptual article explores the notion of ‘values added’ in the emerging context of speciality coffee. Previous studies have not considered the impact of shared values across the sector, through the supply chain to coffee shops. It is proposed that shared values contribute to differentiation in speciality coffee, resulting in distinctive coffee products and coffee shop experiences. ‘Values added’ are explored through the Aboriginal meaning system of songlines. This represents a playful approach to contextual theorizing, providing a new way of identifying and understanding the transfer of shared values across the sector. Four categories of shared values are identified relating to: ‘ecology’, ‘journey’, ‘integration’ and ‘attention to detail’, which are used to inform a values-added conceptual framework. Finally, the study makes recommendations for further research within the context of speciality coffee, emphasizing the importance using and aligning theory to enhance the understanding of differentiation.

‘If they weren’t in the Pub, they Probably wouldn’t Even Know each Other’: Alcohol, Sociability and Pub Based Leisure

While the form and function of pubs is diverse and has changed over time, there remains an at least notional consensus that the pub plays an important social function by providing a place for people to come together in pleasurable and meaningful social interaction. Drawing on qualitative research involving focus groups with pub goers and interviews with pub staff, this paper examines the forms of sociability that take place in UK pubs. Pubs are shown to be sites for varied social interactions which differ in form, intensity and meaning. This includes regular pub going rooted in customer routines but also occasional pub going linked to a wider range of events and associated leisure activities. A common theme across these forms of pub sociability is the value placed on feelings of social connections provided by different forms of social interaction and sociability which are facilitated by the hospitable atmospheres many pubs offer. Pubs are therefore cast as important sites through which various forms of sociability are enacted and enabled. The article contributes to ongoing debates about the social role of alcohol based leisure practises but also stresses the decentring of intoxication apparent in many of these accounts and, further, indicates an increasing diversification of pub based leisure.
