CoGoGo are delighted to welcome to the market Esquires Coffee, a highly rated coffee franchise opportunity in Cambridgeshire. 

Esquires Coffee has built up an excellent reputation and repeat client base within the local community.

The franchise has been around for many years, with our client taking over this business opportunity in 2022. This well-known coffee franchise has around 70 stores around the UK.

The business has now come to the open market due to family reasons. 

They are keenly aware that they have a dual responsibility; to you, their customers, and to the hardworking farmers who produce the coffee beans they proudly serve, and you get to enjoy. 

This responsibility means putting people first and only serving organic and Fairtrade coffee that ensures coffee farmers are paid fairly. Serving responsible coffee helps support and preserve the farming communities and their environment, ensuring they can continue thriving for generations to come.

They want to reflect this responsibility they have to the planet and its people in their stores, so along with responsibly sourced coffee, their cups are fully compostable and 100% recyclable.
