The partnership aims to establish at least five Aïda stores in Slovakia by 2027.

Aïda owner and executive director Dominik Prousek was quoted by World Coffee Portal as saying: “Together we want to make Aïda in Bratislava a permanent fixture – a place where guests can experience an authentic piece of Viennese history.

“Our goal is to open several branches in Slovakia in the next few years and to spread Viennese coffee house culture further into the world.”

Aïda, a 110-year-old operator, currently runs 27 stores in Austria.
