Café Aiello, Lowell's8217;s newest wi-fi coffee house will hold its Grand Opening Event Thursday, June 29, 2006 at 10:00 AM. Located downtown in the newly renovated historic property at
the corner of Gorham Street and Rte 110, Café Aiello will be open seven days a week from 6:30 AM to 7:00 PM and will offer free parking and free wireless Internet services for its
customers.
This counter-service style Café will serve a variety of hot and cold coffee drinks, specialty coffee products (such as espressos and cappuccinos), and fresh baked cookies and pastry
products from some from some of the area's8217;s best bakeries. In addition, the café will also offer high-end bottled juices and waters, gelato and rare varieties of whole gourmet beans
for take-home grinding. Samples of many the shop's8217;s favorites will be available as part of the Grand Opening event.
Experienced Founders
Café Aiello's8217;s founders, Rosalee Muirhead and Aaron Dettori are coffee shop industry veterans, having opened and managed 12 of greater New England's8217;s most successful locations
for Starbucks Coffee Company over the past 10 years. They's8217;ve taken that experience and combined it with a passion for quality coffee and pastries and brought it all together in Café
Aiello.
's8220;We's8217;ve learned a lot about the business from our years working with Starbucks and casual eating restaurants. Perhaps more importantly, we have also learned a lot about what
our customers want and were committed to delivering that every day, 's8220; says Rosalie Muirhead, co-founder, Café Aiello.
Great Coffee and Baked Goods.
Like Ms. Muirhead's8217;s grandparents for whom the café is named, Café Aiello'ss founders are sticklers for quality food and coffee. Café Aiello has contractred award winning,
Seattle-based Zoka Coffee Company to provide the 100% Arabica beans for all its coffee and specialty drinks. Like wise, the Café's8217;s pastries and baked goods are brought in fresh
every morning from local bakeries, a stark contrast to the generic, and often frozen, offerings that chain stores offer.
Free Wi-Fi and a Clean, Comfortable and Work-friendly Atmosphere
In addition to great food and coffee products, Café Aiello will boast a comfortable and modern décor. Several clean and comfortable couches, oversized chairs, coffee and end tables
combine with free mobile wireless internet connections ('s8220;Wi-Fi's8221; ), work station-sized tables for laptop computers, and separate 's8220;meeting pods's8221; where mobile
professionals can hold small meetings with clients or colleagues.
's8220;We realized that our customers come to our shop for a quick break. Whether it's8217;s a few minutes out of the house, a place to relax and study, or even to get some work done
outside of the confines of an office. It's8217;s our goal to create an atmosphere will helped everyone to get a few minutes to themselves,'s8221; said Aaron Dettori, co-founder, Café
Aiello.
