The UK is crazy for coffee. Here’s how you can get involved
Over the last few years, the UK has gone coffee mad. While tea is still our official national drink, recent statistics suggest that coffee is hot on its heels. According to the British Coffee Association, Brits now drink over 95 million cups of coffee per day and the UK coffee industry contributes £9.1 billion to the economy every year.
With so much demand for coffee, the business opportunities are clear. However, with uncertain times ahead for the high street, you may be reluctant to risk starting your own coffee outlet from scratch. A coffee franchise gives you the chance to get into the booming coffee market without risking too much of your own money. Whether you choose a fixed or mobile franchise, you can guarantee that it will come with a proven business model and a ready-made customer base. Here are two great franchises helping the people of the UK to get their caffeine fix.
Triple Two Coffee
Over the last few decades, coffee shops have become a fixture of the UK high street. An American-style “coffee shop culture” has taken hold and many Brits now visit coffee shops not only for refreshment, but to socialise or work as well. With the COVID-19 outbreak making remote working the norm, coffee shops will become even more popular as hubs of activity.
Triple Two Coffee is an exciting new addition to the UK coffee shop roster. The company understands that consumer tastes have become more refined in recent years, and its menu is designed to reflect this.
Triple Two serves only the finest artisan coffee, with every freshly ground espresso shot filtered through a temperature-controlled machine for a richer flavour. Experienced baristas are on hand to ensure that every single cup is of the highest possible quality.
Triple Two isn’t just about coffee though. The company also boasts a food menu that is every bit as mouth-watering. The company uses the freshest locally sourced ingredients and combines them in surprising ways to give customers something a bit out of the ordinary. Food is prepared every day and the menu is constantly updated with exciting new choices.
With strong branding and an eye-catching selection of food and drink, Triple Two is already making a name for itself. Now is the perfect time to join as the company’s early success has paved the way for expansion.
Franchisees will be given comprehensive training as well as assistance in finding and procuring the perfect site. Triple Two will even help you with lease negotiation to make sure you get the best deal possible.
Once you are up and running, you will have access to a wide range of promotional materials and marketing support. Triple Two will do everything they can to increase brand awareness in your area, getting you into the local press and building relationships with other local businesses.
Coffee Blue
With the future of indoor gatherings still uncertain, outdoor events look set to become even more popular in the UK. With a Coffee Blue franchise, you can take full advantage of this. Coffee Blue is a van-based coffee franchise, delivering the finest coffee to events and workplaces across the country.
Coffee Blue vans serve only the finest quality coffee, using state of the art espresso machines and coffee beans from world-renowned roasters. The vans themselves are also some of the best in the business. Custom made by experienced van builders Vantastec, each vehicle is fully refrigerated and designed for maximum storage space. This means that you can work for an entire day without having to return to base to replenish your stock.
Coffee Blue investors have two main ways of making money. They can make regular daily visits to workplaces during the week, and they can cater to larger one-off events at the weekend. This gives you two regular revenue streams, providing estimated takings of between £350 and £600 per day. Once you have established yourself with local businesses, your profits should remain steady and predictable.
A Coffee Blue franchise is a great opportunity for anyone who loves travelling, meeting new people and keeping a healthy work-life balance. Best of all, the chance to go from place to place means that no two working days are the same.
The Coffee Blue Franchise fee is just £16,500 with no hidden costs. This one is not to be missed!
Catering businesses will always be a popular choice for franchisees. After all, people have to eat and drink. Even if coffee is not your thing, there are plenty of other food and drink franchises available. Why not take a look at the full list of coffee shop franchises and see if anything takes your fancy?
