About this business
Founded in 2014, this coffee shop chain trades from leased premises in suburban Leeds neighbourhoods, serving coffee, breakfast and lunch to residents, commuters and people working from home. It employs 95 people across baristas, kitchen teams and managers. Turnover has climbed every year, from £2.24m in 2021 to £3.05m, but EBITDA peaked at £548k in 2023 and has since eased to £521k, so costs have risen faster than sales recently. The margin is still about 17%, which is strong for coffee retail. A buyer gets a profitable chain with sales still rising and a clear area to work on.
Key investment highlights
- Turnover up every year to £3.05m
- EBITDA margin of about 17%
- Team of 95
- Trading since 2014
Reason for sale
The founders want to step back from day-to-day hospitality after running the chain since 2014.
