Caffe Nero to open 75 sites in the UK in 2026

The group also reported a record £626.4m sales for 2025.

The Caffe Nero Group plans to open 75 coffee shops in the UK in 2026, amidst a surge of 10% in overall sales.

The chain, which operates 1,150 cafes in 11 countries, said that globally, sales reached a record £626.4m for the financial year ending 31 May 2025 (FY2025). This is an increase of 7% in like-for-like sales, and 12% in overall sales.

During the year, the group added 94 stores, opening 62 new stores and adding 32 stores through the acquisition of the 200 Degrees and FCB brands in the UK.

“I’m hugely encouraged by the group’s performance during the last financial year. Despite tough trading conditions and a challenging financial climate, we have continued to outperform the market and have grown our customer numbers,” Gerry Ford, CEO and founder of Caffe Nero, said.
