3 new franchisees join Cafe2U in one of its busiest years ever – could you be next?
Despite the weather, it’s been a great summer for the Cafe2U franchise, not least because they have welcomed 3 new franchisees to the network. Recently graduating from the Cafe2U Academy – a 4 week course designed to teach you everything they need to know about running your own mobile coffee business – the new partners are now hitting the road in Southampton, Northamptonshire and North County Down.
They join nearly 100 other vans up and down the country serving thousands of cups of coffee and delicious treats to happy customers.
So, why is the Cafe2U franchise proving so popular, and why is now the perfect time to be a part of it?
Coffee is the affordable treat everyone loves!
Good coffee is something people will always spend money on, and this is really good coffee!
Even when people are trying to spend less, they don’t buy less coffee. They might cut back on holidays or meals out, but they always find time to buy themselves a very affordable treat in the form of a delicious cup of coffee. For some people, it might just be a couple of times a week, for others it’s a daily must!
The mobile coffee industry was among the first to exceed pre-Covid sales after the pandemic
That’s how much the British public loves coffee!
The pandemic was a tough time for everyone, but mobile coffee managed to keep going and had a head start in recovery. As many traditional coffee shops temporarily closed or faced restrictions, mobile coffee businesses had the advantage of being able to adapt quickly to changing circumstances. The shift towards remote work and the need for outdoor and socially distanced options contributed to an increased demand for mobile coffee services, as they could provide convenient coffee options in various locations, and now customers have a taste for it, they’re still coming in huge numbers.
Drive-thru coffee shops and mobile cafes grew their sales by a whopping 17% last year, putting them way past their pre-pandemic levels. If there’s one thing people love more than coffee, it’s coffee that’s right where and when they want it the most.
A Cafe2U mobile café owner, you can enjoy the best of both worlds
You’ll be able to offer your customers a product that is at least as good – if not better – than what they would find in a regular coffee shop, but without having to pay for expensive premises. Not only does that mean starting your business will cost you far less, you’ll have much lower overheads, too.
You’ll still need to buy and fuel a van, of course, but there will be no expense rents, extortionate business rates, and soaring utility bills. All of which means less financial risk, and better profits!
Is it time you got in on the action?
