About this business
A coffee shop chain started in 2021 and grown around Birmingham, serving espresso drinks, breakfasts, sandwiches and cakes to shoppers, commuters and office workers. Its base is a freehold unit on a retail park, owned by the business and included in the sale. The chain employs 142 people. Turnover has risen every year, from £2.92m in 2021 to £4.4m, but EBITDA has grown more slowly, from £273k to £321k, so the margin is a slim 7.3%. A buyer with food service experience could focus on costs and purchasing to turn sales growth into profit.
Key investment highlights
- Turnover up every year to £4.4m
- Freehold retail park unit included
- Team of 142
- Net assets of £1.49m
Reason for sale
The founders want to concentrate on their restaurant group and are selling the coffee side.
