Cassies Commercial Road
Breaking most of the rules is a recipe which has seen few flops for brothers Andre and Chris Castelein. When we started the business in 1991, we had done no market survey, there was no profit projections, we had no advertising budget, and our father told us the shop was in the wrong place.What the brothers did have was an understanding of the business, both having worked in the fast food industry for some time, and an eye for opportunity.The name Cassies comes from the common nick-name for the six brothers in the family.On November 21, 1991 the first store opened for business at 52 Sutton Road, Sidwell, with nothing more than a banner draped outside. We didnt do flyers or advertising because we didnt have money. We just opened the doors!. Day one saw a turnover of R220.We now provide pies, hamburgers, meals, sandwhiches and platters with stores in PE, Uitenhage and Despatch.
