Episode #44 is now live! Meet Hadi Chami  Owner of Notorious espresso, Werribee.  Like most kids growing up in a Lebanese family business, as long as you were tall enough to see over the counter you were old enough to work in the shop.  Being the eldest, Hadi would always be there helping his family in every business they had, that included a cafe they bought in Collins St, Melbourne.  It opened his eyes to the cafe and coffee world, although it was long hours and hard work hadi loved the cafe scene.  Things were going great and the business had grown since they had taken over.  He than overhead the Leasing agents talking talking about not wanting to renew their lease.  When he approached them he was told bad luck and he should have done their due diligence when buying the business.  This left a negative impact on Hadi,  and after they sold their cafe at half the price they had bought it for he told himself he would never get back into the hospitality industry.  He than completed his degree in engeering while also working odd jobs. He had lost his passion for business and hospitality, but It wasn’t until he ran into one of his old customers that told him he was wasting his time and should get back into what he knew best.  He than found a shop in Werribee, Melbourne’s west that was for sale.  Although everyone told him it was no good and he was crazy, he seen the potential, took a risk and bought the business, he has since doubled sales. The business grew so much that he recently renovated the shop to triple the size of his cafe.  Hadi took a chance, and has really transformed the cafe scene in Werribee.
