Since then, he changed the yellow tuk tuk to a red one, opened a shop at BodyLife Gym in Magasyn street and also employed Rynardt van der Merwe to his team.
On Thursday, 5 October, Ben launched the newest edition, a newly, upgraded, black tuk tuk that can now also serve beer on tap. Apart from Rynardt, Pieter Schempers and Sazi Nzanya are also now part of the team.
“There are many more new developments taking place at The Grind. It has led to us going from a one-man-tuk-tuk show, to a four-man barista team running a permanent pop up shop at BodyLife Gym in Magazyn Street, a satellite coffee shop at the Zwakala breweries in Hearnertsburg, this, our second Tuk Tuk, with our third waiting to be picked up from Aikornhoek, a coffee distribution company and a barista training program. We have The Grind merchandise that will be available on our soon to be launched website.”
