Stevens & Bolton has advised SUR Coffee Group Ltd on its acquisition of development rights from Black Sheep Coffee, the innovative brand serving the first specialty grade Robusta beans on the market, to open up a further eleven Black Sheep Coffee shops in Scotland.
SUR Coffee Group already operates three Black Sheep Coffee shops in Scotland with a fourth on its way. This acquisition builds upon its current success and offers significant scale up growth for the brand in west Scotland.
Stevens & Bolton has supported Suhail Rehman, Director of SUR Coffee Group, for a number of years as a franchisee of the leading domiciliary care provider Home Instead.
Suhail commented: “I was delighted with the support we received from Nicola at Stevens & Bolton for the thorough review and skilled negotiation provided on our multi-unit development agreement. Nicola ensured our interests were well-represented and secured a strong foundation for our Black Sheep Coffee business.”
Nicola Broadhurst, Commercial Partner and Head of Franchising, added: “We were delighted to support Suhail and SUR Coffee Group on this exciting acquisition, spearheading its expansion of the Black Sheep Coffee brand in Scotland. This work highlights the accelerated growth that can be achieved by brands strategically working with experienced multi-unit franchisees.”
