How CCD was started
Cafe Coffee Day was started in July 1996 from Brigade Road in Bangalore. The first coffee shop was opened with an internet cafe. Internet was making inroads in the country in those days. The fun of coffee with the Internet was a special experience for the new age. As the commercial Internet began to spread its footing, CCD decided to stick with its core business, Coffee, and do business as a nationwide coffee cafe. After opening a few cafes in the first 5 years, CCD has today become the largest coffee retail chain in the country. At present, CCD has a total of 1,758 cafes in 247 cities of the country.
