SCHAUMBURG, Ill., U.S. – DOCASA, Inc, through its award winning subsidiary, Department of Coffee and Social Affairs Limited, based in the United Kingdom (“UK”), has announced the opening of its newest coffee shop in Bristol, UK, as part of its continuing national expansion plan.
The launch of the Bristol outlet brings the total number of the Company’s coffee shops in UK to 13 operating, 3 under construction, and 6 in advanced negotiations, totalling 22 sites – which would indicate expansion of greater than 100% in a one year period, with all of the shops in prime locations or destination sites, attracting increasing foot traffic.
“We are tapping into the ever-growing demand in the UK for quality, specialty coffee, and our national roll-out plans are proceeding as expected,” said DOCASA Chairman, Stefan Allesch-Taylor.
