Café entrepreneur brings coffee shop chain to Mayo town
Sales have thus far been very good.
Café entrepreneur Roksana Teter has brought her Tribe coffee chain to Ballyhaunis after being approached by the owners of a recently renovated building on Main Street.
Located on the ground floor of the James Lyons building, formerly a bar and hotel and now a residential facility, the Ballyhaunis outlet of Tribe is the third opened by Roksana, who grew up in Tuam.
A native of Poland and now living in Sligo, Ms Teter, at just 23, now runs three cafes, having opened the Galway outlet in 2023 before setting up in Claremorris six months ago. She buys her coffee from Amsterdam-based Five Ways, a fair-trade company.
Sales have thus far been very good at the Ballyhaunis store, which operates on a take-away basis, said Roksana, who also operates an outlet in Claremorris and another in Galway.
“I have a good feeling about the place. There is a good sense of community,” she said.
