Franchise Opportunities In London
Want to become your own boss? Buying a franchise in London is a great way for the entrepreneurs to start their own business, continue building their portfolio and become successful in a new market.
And what better way to discover the benefits of the franchise business model than by investing in the ever-thriving London coffee shop industry?
Why Invest in a London Coffee Shop?
As England’s capital city and an iconic cultural hotspot, it will come as no surprise that London has a thriving, unique coffee scene that’s rife with opportunities.
The history of coffee in London is a long one, with the city’s famed first coffee house opening in 1652. Since the 17th century, Londers’ appetite for coffee has only grown, with thousands of cafes and coffee shops now catering to the demand of an 8.8 million strong population.
There is a huge market to capture; along with becoming local residents’ go-to coffee spot, your store could be in a great position to attract many of London’s visitors. The City of London alone receives 0.5 million daily commuters, and the greater London area sees approximately 30 million domestic and international tourists every year. With so many people passing through, there are some great chances to make your mark on the coffee shop industry.
London also has one of the largest concentrations of universities in the world – those 400,000+ university students attending the 40 universities and higher education institutions of London will surely need a caffeine boost every now and again!
How Profitable are London Coffee Shop Businesses?
Across the 32 boroughs of London (and surrounding areas), there are so many prime locations to open a successful coffee shop. From the busy streets of the West End to the heart of the coffee culture in the East, you are sure to find the perfect spot to open your dream community coffee shop.
When done right, London coffee shop businesses can be very profitable. The demand is there; it just takes a bit of individuality and expertise to turn new stores into an ongoing success. Franchises have a much higher chance of success than start-ups, allowing you to see results from the start.
