We are extremely interested in creating value in ‘Refuse To Be Broke’ brand.

In the soonest time, I think you will begin to see the good things about R2bees not just in Ghana but outside. Our plan was, as we grow our brand across the globe, we will also be able to grow the ‘Refuse To Be Broke’ brand. For this is the beginning,” he added.
