Sisters Mia and Kristina have finally got their names on a family business with the opening of a new coffee shop and bar in the Swansea Valley. Or, at least the nicknames their nieces gave them when each sister first became an aunt - Mimi and Kiki.
The daughters of Raymond Di Francesco, the man behind Remo's cafe and Franco's takeaway and restaurant on Aberavon seafront, are carrying on their family's entrepreneurial legacy with the new Clydach business which opened this week.
But, sitting at a table in her new cafe, Mia McNab, 49, from Skewen, said it was almost by chance that the family opened a new business in the village after purchasing a property which already had a cafe downstairs. "I wanted to buy a property just as an investment" she explained.
