After the acquisition, Rand Capital Coffee inherited the 12 Starbucks stores, with plans to continue expanding the brand to roll out 30 new stores by March 2022.

This agreement extended Starbuck into regions and neighbourhoods that would have otherwise not been a viable business option.

To test the viability of the product, Bradfield dried a few pineapples using his biltong dryer and offered the community some product samples to receive feedback. With positive feedback from the community, a business unit was established and production commenced.

Instead of the initial electric dryers previously used, they now make use of wood fired boilers, which heat an enclosed water system, in turn driving the radiators and circulating fans. This has brought about a significant reduction in their electricity usage. The wood used also releases lower carbon emissions and is sustainably sourced from neighbouring farms.
