Die Windmeul Wafelhuis: A New Franchise Brings Unique Waffle Experience to Pretoria
Ten years ago, the Roodt family opened the first branch of Die Windmeul Wafelhuis in Hartbeespoort, nestled within the vibrant premises of Jasmyn Plaasprodukte. Since then, their delightful waffles have become a beloved treat for locals and visitors alike. Now, on 1 August, they have launched their first franchise branch at Greenlyn Village, Menlo Park, Pretoria, marking an exciting new chapter in their journey.
Die Windmeul Wafelhuis promises to be a unique culinary destination in Pretoria, as it is the only waffle house restaurant in the city. The menu features a delicious array of both sweet and savoury waffles, ensuring there’s something to satisfy every palate. Additionally, for those with dietary restrictions, they offer gluten-free waffles, making it an inclusive dining option for all.
The ambiance of Die Windmeul Wafelhuis is just as delightful as its menu. Olivia from Olivetree Design, the interior architect behind the decor and design, has created a vibrant, child-friendly environment filled with colour. Olivia wanted to deliver something different and inviting for families, carefully toning down the use of black to ensure a cheerful atmosphere. She also revamped the brand font, logo design, and menu, giving the entire franchise a fresh and appealing look.
Pretoria residents are warmly invited to visit Die Windmeul Wafelhuis and indulge in their exquisite waffles. The new franchise aims to provide an exceptional and memorable dining experience, characterized by the same quality and charm that the Hartbeespoort branch has delivered for the past decade.
The owners are thrilled about this new franchise venture and plan to open more branches in South Africa. Their excitement is palpable, and they are eager to share their waffle creations with even more communities.
Die Windmeul Wafelhuis also had the invaluable assistance of Eric Parker in establishing their franchise. Eric’s extensive experience in marketing and franchising has been instrumental in this process. Eric’s impressive career includes roles as Marketing Manager of Carlton Paper, Managing Director of Kreepy Krauly, Marketing Director of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), and Executive Director of Interfare. He co-founded Nando’s Chickenland, significantly contributing to its rapid expansion both in South Africa and internationally. Currently a senior partner at Franchising Plus, Eric has a well-earned reputation as a strategic thinker and expert in franchise development.
