New Sydney site brings both brands together under one roof, doubling as the network's national training and innovation hub
Piccolo Me has soft-opened its newest and most ambitious site yet - a dual-brand flagship bringing together Piccolo Me's specialty coffee and cafe favourites with SolBowl's fresh, vibrant bowls, all under one roof at 350 Parramatta Rd, Homebush West, inside Goodman Business Park.
The location holds special significance, housed within the heritage-listed 1936 Former Ford Factory, blending a piece of Australian industrial history with a state-of-the-art hospitality fit-out.
Beyond serving as a premium destination for the local community, the site has been purpose-built as FABE Hospitality Group's central training and innovation hub - a space designed to elevate brand standards, streamline franchise training, and pioneer menu R&D and operational systems to support Piccolo Me and SolBowl partners nationwide.
"This site brings together everything we've learned building both brands, in a space that pays tribute to its heritage while pushing our systems and standards forward," said Group General Manager David Ciantar. "It's as much for our franchise partners as it is for the local community."
The soft opening kicked off on 1 July, with the site now welcoming the local Homebush community, ahead of further activity to come as the hub ramps up its training and innovation programs.
