Cooks Coffee UK systemwide sales store sales grow

(Sharecast News) - Coffee-focused café chain Cooks Coffee said on Monday that systemwide store sales in the UK and Ireland had increased by 26.9% in the six months ended 28 September, reflecting continued momentum across the company. Systemwide store sales in the UK and Ireland combined achieved a weekly sales record in the first half of £870,000, marking a new high in trading performance.

UK store sales improved by 26.7%, as a result of the increased estate and positive like-for-like growth, while Ireland store sales rose 27.4%, driven by strong consumer demand and the contribution of high-performing new locations.

Like-for-like sales were up 3.5% in the UK and 6.4% in Ireland, indicating underlying strength in established stores, while sales from stores opened since April 2024 contributed 36% of total FY26 year-to-date revenue, underscoring the success of recent openings.

Chief executive Aiden Keegan said: "We are pleased to report strong momentum across the Group in the first half of FY26, with systemwide sales up 26.9% and a record weekly performance of £0.9 million during the period. Ireland continues to outperform, with like-for-like growth of 6.4% and the success of our new Mallow store setting benchmarks for the brand."
