About GoodNews
GoodNewsCo is a unique startup that has reinvented the traditional newsstand concept by integrating it with a coffee shop. The company operates in Spain and aims to create a positive atmosphere, or "Buen rollo," as they call it, for their customers. They serve a wide range of clients, from coffee lovers to news enthusiasts, and even businesses looking for a refreshing coffee break experience for their employees.
The company's business model is centered around transforming traditional newsstands into vibrant meeting points where people can enjoy a good cup of coffee while catching up on the latest news. They have successfully modernized the service to appeal to a younger demographic by adopting a minimalist aesthetic. In a unique marketing strategy, if a customer shares good news, they are rewarded with a free newspaper, magazine, or coffee.
GoodNewsCo also offers services to businesses, delivering their "Good Coffee" and positive vibes to workplaces. This not only provides a new revenue stream but also helps to foster a sense of community and positivity within corporate environments.
The startup was founded in 2020 by five young entrepreneurs in Barcelona who took over a local newsstand. They have since been working to breathe new life into newsstands across Spain, with coffee as the central focus.
In summary, GoodNewsCo is a promising startup that combines the traditional newsstand with a modern coffee shop, creating a unique business model that promotes positivity and community.
