Tchibo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tchibo is a German chain of coffee shops/cafés, but is better known for its weekly changing range. Typical specials are clothing, household items, electronics and electrical appliances.
Tchibo was founded in 1949 in Hamburg by Carl Tchilling-Hiryan and Max Herz. The name Tchibo is an abbreviation for Tchilling and Bohnen (beans, meaning coffee beans). During the formative years Tchibos concentrated on a mail order service of freshly roasted coffee beans. These were produced in the company's own roasting facility in the Hamburg district of Hoheluft
