Was Grandmother’s Day invented by a coffee brand?
Yes ! Grandmother’s Day was invented by the famous brand Café Grand’Mère, from the Kraft Jacobs Suchard group. Originally, the brand wanted to pay tribute to grandmothers, while referring to the product. A way to value grannies and the relationship they have with their grandchildren, and to salute the values of benevolence and generosity that they often embody. Grandmother’s Day is therefore a commercial invention, which was quickly popularized, in the same way as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Grandfather’s Day.
