John MacKenzie chats with Gilberto Risa, founder of Cruze Coffee in Cairns, about selling his coffee business after 13 years of operating.

Known for his infectious smile, Mr. Risa opened his first Cruze Coffee store in Oceana Walk in 2010. The business's popularity saw it move into a larger location on Grafton Street and then expand to a second location in Cairns Central shopping mall.

Gilberto plans to enjoy some free time with family in Italy before returning to Cairns to begin the next chapter in his life.
