Smart Precinct NQ presented an engaging ‘On the Couch’ discussion featuring Annie Nguyen, the founder of Annee’s Caphê Sua Da, Australia’s first free-standing Vietnamese iced coffee bar.

Originating from a stall at Rusty’s Market, Cairns, Annee’s is a true example of the success of what can be achieved through passion as she expands across regional Queensland.

Annie shared her inspirational story with 40 local entrepreneurs and business owners, recounting her humble beginnings and her rise to success.

She detailed the journey from a small market stall to a bustling shop that became a favourite for its personalised service and memorable coffee experiences.

 Participants were captivated by Annie’s insights on appearing on Shark Tank Australia and her ambitious expansion plans for 2024.

 The event, part of Queensland Small Business Month, was a testament to the power of community and innovation.

The event was supported by State Government and Townsville City Council.
