From TND’s Business Desk, Frank Oyugi caught up with Brian Mukwaya, a supervisor at the fresh cafe and here we bring you the interview:

Frank Oyugi:  Of all businesses, why did you opt to establish a modern, state of the art restaurant and the first of its kind in Lira?

Brian Mukwaya: Lira being one of the newest approved city, there are certain things that should be available. We felt that there are things that are still missing and a cafe was one of them. So we established Cafe Milliana because we felt we should do something new, and I think this is a birthday gift to the new city.

Frank Oyugi: This will be the first and the only cafe to operate all day and night, 24 hrs and 7 days a week, why this decision?

Brian Mukwaya: Like I said, a city has some components and this is one of them; see most places in Lira close by 11pm. So we felt like we should have something unique for those who will travel to Lira at night, they should find something to eat and drink or even those leaving Lira for Kampala, Gulu and other towns.

Frank Oyugi: So what services should one expect at Cafe Milliana?

Brian Mukwaya: We serve all coffees, Americana, Italiano, Billinaos, Caphinos Atiquas and cocktail among others. We also have Milliana Pizza, among others.
