23.5 Degrees opens 100th Starbucks

23.5 Degrees opened its 100th Starbucks store, in Tamworth, Staffordshire, at the end of June. The launch is part of an ambitious expansion programme for the chain’s first UK franchised business partner, which has a strong pipeline of approved stores and plans to reach 300 by 2027.
23.5 Degrees is actively seeking both freehold and leasehold drive-through opportunities on main arterial routes, close to major retail destinations or on large industrial estates. It opened its first Starbucks store in Liphook, Hampshire, in February 2013.

Mark Hepburn, managing director of 23.5 Degrees, said: “In just 10 years we have built this company from one store to 100 and are excited to have reached such a major milestone in our company’s history. We’re able to move fast on great new sites.

“We’re keeping our foot on the gas, and will continue to create spaces that foster connection, build bridges between communities and champion the values that define us.”
