Wimpy at Engen
You'll find burger bliss all along the Engen Service Station path. Like a
patty and a bun, Engen and Wimpy have been great partners for years, filling
your tank and your tummy and recharging you with delicious fresh food.
Youll find them everywhere, so it doesnt matter if you're travelling
through the Karoo or to Kimberley, you can always make us a part of your
travel plans. Look for the Wimpy sign at a variety of Engen Service Stations
and you'll find that this is where to stop if you want to enjoy every moment
of your trip.
In an industry that is as highly competitive as the restaurant industry,
Wimpy has managed to stay ahead of the game for more than thirty years. The
new millennium has brought with it new challenges, but we have managed to
meet those challenges head on. Through the use of technology, we are
constantly monitoring the market to see whether we are on track with our
promotions and product offerings. It seems to be working, because our group
has grown in leaps and bounds to over 400 franchises in the new millennium.
Beating to the rhythm of the world and the soul of Southern Africa.
Menus in Braille - Wimpy Goes Disabled-Friendly
Wimpy SA has become one of the few dining outlets in South Africa to offer
Braille menus for visually impaired customers.
Blind SA were responsible for developing and printing a special Braille menu
for all Wimpy restaurants countrywide through Blind SA's special printing
press.
They produce Braille on order for schools, university students, and
individual adults in all the official languages of South Africa.
Leading the way in terms of disabled tourists, Tourism KwaZulu-Natal has
already produced a Disabled Tourism Strategy and a Disabled Tourism
Association has been formed. One of the items on its agenda is the lobbying
of restaurants in the province to get them to make available Braille menus.
There is a Braille printing machine at the University of KwaZulu-Natal which
could help in this regard.
The Association is also working together with the tourism directorate in the
Department of Arts, Culture and Tourism so as to have direct input in terms
of policy. In this way, if such things as Braille menus, Braille in lifts,
wheelchair access into restaurants and the like are included in the policy
it will be much easier to encourage such tourism establishments to make
their services available to all tourists.
