The deal follows a year of major growth for Black Sheep Coffee, cementing its position as one of the UK’s fastest-growing independent coffee brands - fuelled by a scalable franchise model, a loyal following, and a mission to serve the best Robusta coffee on the high street.

Each new store will serve up all the Black Sheep signatures including colourful matcha lattes, freshly made Norwegian waffles, and an all-day menu designed to wake up the high street.

Izzy Childs, EMEA Growth Director commented on the partnership, “We’re thrilled to welcome Aaron and Axel to the Black Sheep family. Their experience and energy are exactly what we look for in franchise partners. Merseyside is buzzing, and we can’t wait to get more shops open.”
