Our concept
Our philosophy is unique and straightforward.We locate our BB’s Coffee & Muffins cafés in high footfall areas where customers want them and we are the only retailer in the UK & Ireland that has been focussing solely on shopping centre locations. As a result we have achieved a good level of brand awareness throughout the country.
By locating in only high footfall areas we eliminate the competitive fluctuations that are common in high street locations where an unlimited number of competitors can open nearby. Thereby creating an instant ‘captured’ audience to whom the BB’s Coffee & Muffins brand can be delivered.
Our product offer is also unique to us. Our hand mixed muffins and freshly filled baguettes are prepared and baked daily in all of our cafes and will always be sold that same day and our freshly ground premium coffees, indulgent smoothies and milkshakes will be made specifically to order.
