After five years of careful planning, Wimpie and Sandra Jacobs are set to expand their culinary footprint by opening Duco’s Eatery in Potchefstroom on November 1st, 2025.

Building on the success of their established bistro in Fochville, the couple is returning to their roots with a concept focused on high-quality, takeaway-style dining that blends comfort food with healthy options.

The brand name, "Duco’s," signifies a strategic and personal fusion of the Jacobs and Dupper families, representing a legacy project designed to incorporate the next generation, specifically their son Reuben and his partner Sunel Dupper.

With a menu boasting "Small bites, Big flavours," the eatery aims to distinguish itself through competitive pricing without compromising on quality. Patrons can expect a variety of offerings ranging from poke bowls and fish and chips to Sandra’s signature homemade cakes and artisanal coffee.

Beyond the menu, Duco’s is built on a foundation of faith and community. The space is designed to offer modern simplicity and a calm atmosphere characterized by soft worship music and thoughtful design.

With a five-year plan that already includes franchising, the team, comprising Wimpie, Sandra, Koos Dupper, and Sunel Dupper, is poised to make a significant impact on the local food industry.
