More about Blue Stripes Cacao Shop & the Story behind
The owner of this brand-new Chocolate Coffee Shop is Oded Brenner, co-founder of Max Brenner. Due to his split from Max Fichtman (the other co-founder of Max Brenner) Oded couldn’t compete with Max Brenner for 5 entire years, meaning he couldn’t sell any chocolate during all that time (a non-compete agreement forced him out of retail). So he used the time to get creative, find more inspiration, keep following and growing his passion for chocolate which made him traveled to Jamaica and explore all the ways cacao is used to create different kinds of sweets around the world.
“People are not familiar with many different aspects of cacao fruit. I myself discovered it in those long five years I had a noncompete with Max Brenner. I had a lot of time to explore, travel, and investigate. Cacao fruit was one of the things that really intrigued and fascinated me. I wanted to create a concept around it.”
