Mugg & Bean
Restaurant chain / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mugg & Bean is a full-service coffee-themed franchise restaurant chain originating in South Africa. The restaurant chain was founded in 1996 by Ben Filmalter after a visit to a Chicago coffee shop in the early 1990s inspired him to open a similar restaurant in South Africa.[2] The first restaurant was opened at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town in 1996.[2][3] The franchise was bought by Famous Brands in 2009.[4]
