Why Open a Coffee Shop in Newcastle Upon Tyne?
Newcastle Upon Tyne has a rich history and cultural heritage rooted in shipbuilding and coal mining. Since the industrial revolution, it has become a central hub in the northeast of England, functioning as a core social and business location, attracting lots of traffic to local establishments.
The metropolitan area of Newcastle Upon Tyne has a population of around 830,000 people, offering a diverse customer base to tap into. Newcastle is also home to two major universities, which generates a thriving student population and puts you in a great position to become the choice hotspot where they can study, relax and socialise while getting a caffeine fix.
The city’s eclectic atmosphere and attractions draw in a steady stream of visitors and tourists all year round. Places like Newcastle Castle, the Centre for Life museum, St James’ Park, Theatre Royal and the Great North Museum contribute to Newcastle’s lively heritage and entertainment scene.
The thriving coffee culture and various coffee festivals and events hosted in the city and the surrounding areas are also a good indication of an engaged coffee-loving community, with lots of people already primed to enjoy delicious coffee shop offerings and local experiences.
With its friendly, close-knit community and the city’s focus on arts, culture, and innovation, a Newcastle coffee shop could easily become a go-to spot for both locals and visitors looking for a cosy place to unwind!
