Black Sheep Coffee, the Robusta rebels shaking up the UK coffee scene, have just signed a new Multi-Unit Development Agreement covering 11 sites across Merseyside, marking the next big move in the brand’s UK takeover.
Merseyside’s buzzing hospitality scene, from Liverpool’s city centre and waterfront to its fast-growing commuter towns, makes it prime territory for a new wave of Robusta rebels. It’s a natural fit for Black Sheep Coffee’s bold energy and fearless flavour, with a thriving student crowd and a community that celebrates creativity and character.
Yoloways Ltd will develop the region. Headed up by experienced operators Aaron Chetwyn and Axel Dehy, it will bring the brand’s disruptive spirit to one of the North West’s most dynamic markets.
The deal follows a year of major growth for Black Sheep Coffee, cementing its position as one of the UK’s fastest-growing independent coffee brands – fuelled by a scalable franchise model, a loyal following, and a mission to serve the best Robusta coffee on the high street.
Each new store will serve up all the Black Sheep signatures: the world’s first speciality-grade Robusta coffee, colourful matcha lattes, freshly made Norwegian waffles, and an all-day menu designed to wake up the high street.
Izzy Childs, EMEA Growth Director commented on the partnership, “We’re thrilled to welcome Aaron and Axel to the Black Sheep family. Their experience and energy are exactly what we look for in franchise partners. Merseyside is buzzing, and we can’t wait to get more shops open.”
With over 150 new UK sites now committed under multi-unit deals, Black Sheep Coffee continues to scale fast – bringing its fearless, independent spirit to new audiences across the country.
