Franchise Business Opportunities in the UK
The franchise business model offers entrepreneurs a surefire path to success. And what better industry to reap the unique benefits of franchising than the ever-growing, ever-popular coffee shop industry?
Why Buy a Coffee Shop?
The UK coffee industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the retail industry, with impressive turnovers, a loyal customer base and continued growth.
Over the next ten years, we expect to see the growth of branded chains and artisan coffee shops continue to rise, making joining the industry a high-reward investment.
Why Are Coffee Shops so Popular?
How can we be sure it’s such a great investment? Well, the incredible popularity of coffee shops certainly doesn’t hurt.
Our loyal customers love visiting our stores time and time again. Why? The simple answer: people love coffee, but a good coffee shop experience is now much more than a tasty brew!
Nowadays, customers are seeking social spaces with great ambience. They want a place where they can relax, work and sit back with delicious food and drink – all of which our Esquires coffee shops are proud to provide.
How Profitable are Coffee Shop Businesses?
On paper, this all sounds great, but you might be wondering about the realities of opening a coffee shop or cafe franchise and the kind of profit you can expect.
Coffee shop businesses have a high-profit margin and low stock costs, so when done right, they can be very profitable, making them an undeniably good business opportunity and rewarding franchises to own.
When you buy a coffee shop franchise, you increase your chances of success from the start, as you’ll benefit from market expertise, existing customer loyalty and the backing of an established brand – all valuable resources you won’t have access to with an independent start-up.
What is the Best Cafe Franchise to Own?
So you know you want to take a step into the coffee industry, but who do you partner with to ensure your journey is as worthwhile as possible?
