Frosty Boy Australia will supply its new premium beverage range in Western Australia and Queensland through a partnership with cafe franchise Cxpresso.

CXpresso is an evolution of Croissant Express, and it will use a range of tailored products including frappes and smoothies from Frosty Boy's recently launched The Art of Blend beverage range.

These beverages will be available at Cxpresso stores in Western Australia and south-east Queensland.

Frosty Boy CEO Dirk Pretorius said 80 per cent of Frosty Boy’s current opportunities in Australia came from its beverage bases. He says the Yatala, Gold Coast-based manufacturer will develop a bespoke product for the cafe chain.

“The Art of Blend is really opening doors for us and presenting opportunities to partner with cafes and restaurants of the highest calibre,” Pretorius said.

“Through the Art of Blend range, our customers can offer a premium, bespoke product to their own clientele, without the expense of investing in special machinery or costly equipment."
