Coffee Republic Franchise

About us

At Coffee Republic, we believe in serving delicious and freshly made food and drink. Our artisan food is freshly prepared every day to ensure our customers experience the highest quality by using our good, simple and delicious ingredients. Since establishing in 1995, we have grown to become one of the leading coffeeshop chains in the UK.

Our unique coffee bean blend is of the finest quality, lovingly created by master roasters with decades of experience to produce the perfect espresso every time. It’s no surprise that we serve over 10 million cups of coffee every year!

You can find Coffee Republic in Lithuania, Romania, airports in Barcelona, Lanzarote, Minorca and Fuerteventura. In the Middle East we have bars in Bahrain, Qatar and Oman.

Why Coffee Republic?

We have a tried and tested franchise system which we have developed and adapted over many years. This has allowed us to support both individual and corporate franchisees. Our widely recognisable and trusted brand has gained a fantastic reputation for quality food and drink.

Our sustainable approach to business.

We believe in protecting the environment we work in, from our ethically sourced coffee, to using low emission transport solutions. This is just the start of our sustainable journey, as we are committed to going completely single-use plastic free by the end of 2022!

Coffee Republic is a brand built on relationships, with franchisees, customers, suppliers and individual partners. Our flexible approach to starting, building and maintaining these relationships is what makes us stand out from other brands. That, and our Italian roast coffee, award winning teas and fresh food made on-site.

This is all part of what makes us unique and not just another face on the high street.

The Coffee Republic franchise fee is £25,000 +VAT. Other fees are applicable which include training, design and brand audit fees which total to an additional £10,000 as part of the package. Government led funding is available towards the cost of your fees helping you to get started.

Who are we looking for?

We are searching for partners who are driven and have a strong work ethic. You will need to be able to work with, and lead a team whilst committing to maintaining excellent service standards. It is essential that you have the ability to carefully follow set systems and procedures.
