The growth in the retail coffee sector has been steadily increasing year on year (on average around 8% per year since 2012) but how is that sector made up? Well the major chains still dominate with the likes of the coca-cola owned Costa having over twice as many outlets as their nearest competitor! But the independents are fighting back with over 7000 outlets nationally making up 28% of the retail coffee sector. The big boys are worried, the two most important UK consumer trends, as tracked by one of the worlds largest global coffee brands, are ranked as 1) increasingly knowledgeable consumers and 2) the growth of the independent outlets!
Every £1 you spend with us results in a further estimated £1.45 of extra revenue being generated. But what does this mean? In our case that money goes directly to other local suppliers meaning more of the money you spend stays in the local economy rather than lining the pockets of big multinational businesses and their corporate shareholders.
Here at Butler’s we really do love what we do and strive to bring you the highest quality speciality coffee, food dishes made from the best locally sourced ingredients with friendly and proficient service.
By choosing to support local independent coffee outlets like us you are making a real difference and a genuine contribution to your local community!
