A larger than average branch of Good Pharm

The new branch of Good Pharm, where the cafe will open, is much larger than the average of Good Pharm, in an area of ​​about 600 square meters in front of which has been operating a branch of the competitor Super-Pharm for several years. This branch will join other branches developed during this period. The same to complete a layout of about 30 stores.

Nutella is the chocolate spread of the Italian chocolate maker Ferrero, controlled by the Ferrero family. About three years ago, the company began to find channels for direct communication with the consumer, and alongside its main activity as a chocolate maker, it began to open permanent cafes owned by it around the world in prominent cities. Nutella’s first coffee shop in the world was opened by Italian chocolate giant Ferrero in 2017 in Chicago, and in 2018 another coffee shop opened in New York. In addition, the company operates cafes around the world in the form of food trucks or coffee carts as it will now open in Israel.

In addition to Nutella, Ferrero manufactures and markets other brands including Kinder Chocolate, Ferrero Rocher Chocolate, Tic Tac and others. The Nutella spread was developed by the Ferrero family in 1964, and made its way to Israel in 1975. The chocolate giant Ferrero has a presence in over 50 countries, and its products are sold in over 170 countries. In 2019, Ferrero’s sales turnover was € 11.4 billion.

Until 2016, Ferrero’s official importer to Israel was the importer Leiman Schlissl, but in the same year the global company set up a local representative to handle its brands. In Israel, Ferrero’s importer is considered one of the largest food companies, and it holds a share of about one percent of sales in the food and beverage market in Israel.

The new cafe, which will now be operated by the company founded by Friedler and Sandler, is different from the current activities of the pharma chain, but is no stranger to its founders. Sandler currently also serves privately as a franchisee of two cafes of the Arcaffe chain – Beit Asia in Tel Aviv, and in the Krinitzi neighborhood in Ramat Gan.
