The Streat

Ireland's fastest growing café franchise has arrived in Scotland. Opening an office in Glasgow this year, the streat® has ambitious expansion plans for cafes in every major Scottish city and town.

Introduction

Introduction
Renowned in Ireland for its fresh healthy food, fabulous coffee and excellent service and with 30 café outlets currently established and more opening throughout Ireland, the streat® is more than ready to launch its ‘more than a café’ business model in Scotland.
Former Rangers Retail Operations Director and District Manager with Disney, Gerry Carey has partnered with John Belardo, a senior IT project manager to develop the brand country-wide. Carey will front the operation in Scotland and has a major franchise recruitment drive already underway.
 

About the streat®

About the streat®
In 1999 husband and wife team Michael and Nikki McQuillan opened their first streat® café in Belfast. Their vision was to develop the streat® as the best known and most successful café concept to come out of Ireland, by delivering consistently great food and coffee, and award winning service in contemporary surroundings.

Several years on the streat® has become one of Northern Irelands best known café brands. This formidable formula is now being shared with like minded people through franchising. The depth of experience and expertise provided by the streat® franchise team, together with a commitment and enthusiasm from you to run your own business, enables the formation of a profitable franchise partnership.
 

Why we are successful

Why we are successful
The streat®’s success in Ireland is founded upon their ‘more than a café’ approach. Franchisees have developed their businesses within the streat® cafes and have grown their business beyond the traditional shop front by creating substantial outside catering and food delivery elements. The ‘streatonwheels’ add on franchise option brings fresh food to events, commercial properties and out of town areas.

The food, described as ‘food with thought’ is always fresh and healthy from breakfast to bedtime. Deli style hand crafted sandwiches, salads and wraps, juice and smoothies – food for the whole family throughout the whole day. Contact has already been made with Scottish suppliers to maintain the streat®’s commitment to fresh ingredients.

Having sampled beans from 23 estates the streat have created their own unique blend of coffee providing a distinctive taste. Coffee excellence is a major part of the team training programme. Several of the streat®’s team members have taken part in the UK Barista championships.
 

Our training

The main building block of the streat®’s success has been its commitment to investment in training. This passion for excellence has resulted in the streat® being the only franchisor ever to be awarded the prestigious UK National Training Award. They have also received several regional and national awards for quality of training.
