Really Awesome Coffee hits a 100-van milestone

Really Awesome Coffee fast approaches 80 franchise partners within the network, with a milestone 100th van leaving their head office in Coventry! 

It has been an exciting decade for Really Awesome Coffee. Starting out with just 1 coffee van in 2010, then operated by MD – Kevin Haswell, to now cementing their status as the UK’s largest mobile cafe network, celebrating 100 vans on the road across the UK.

Kevin says: “The plan was always to build a network of franchised coffee vans. However, to actually hit 100 vans, and have an amazing team around me, is a great feeling… and in honesty, I think we’re really only just getting started”.

Being a mobile operation, Really Awesome Coffee have been able to adapt to meet the challenges of the last few years, and these adaptations have helped the network grow and thrive.

Kevin started Really Awesome Coffee having experienced growth in the industry during the 08/09 recession, and the flexibility and control that a mobile coffee business provides, sets us up for continued growth and even more success over the next few years.

Marc & Klara launch van 100 in Lincoln 

Marc and Klara had the honour of taking Really Awesome Coffee to van 100. They have hit the ground running since their launch earlier this month with record takings in their first week, and also being firm customer favourites on their daily coffee round.

In his early adulthood, Marc was involved in a life changing road traffic accident, which left him paralysed from the chest down and requiring the aid of a wheelchair. Marc says “Being paralysed has only made me strong and more determined to achieve my goals in life.”

Multi-Unit Operations
Whilst the majority of the network run a single coffee van from home, roughly 1 in 7 franchise partners now operates multiple mobile cafes (with a couple operating 6 each!).

Really Awesome Coffee are always looking for ways to grow and open up new opportunities for franchise partners. As well as the standard coffee vans, there are also a couple of coffee shops, some dedicated ‘events’ trailers, some ‘ice-cream & waffle vans’ and some ‘mobile coffee stations’.

Consistently growing, with new franchise partners joining the network every month, Really Awesome have increased the frequency of our Virtual Discovery Presentations to 2-3 per month to cope with the demands of franchise enquiries. To find out more, visit the profile page >>
