An independent brunch and coffee brand based in Derby has confirmed that it will be opening a sixth site early next year.

BEAR, which serves speciality coffee, brunch, cocktails and craft beer from morning until evening, has revealed that it will open its latest site at Barons Quay, in Northwich, Cheshire.

To date, BEAR has an outlet in Uttoxeter, which was its first branch, as well as two outlets in Derby - one in Iron Gate, where the company is based, and another in the Intu Derby shopping centre. It also has branches in Stone, in Staffordshire and another in Soho, London.

But BEAR has ambitions to open up to 30 sites over the next five years and become a high street challenger brand to the likes of Costa and Starbucks.

Last month, it was reported that the firm had secured an increased funding facility from HSBC 海角视频 to help it realise its growth strategy.

Craig Bunting, who co-founded the business with Michael Thorley, said: “2019 has been a huge and exciting year for BEAR.

“We opened our first BEAR in 2016, with the aim of serving great coffee in a warm and welcoming environment, but what really sets us apart is our love for coffee products and connecting with the community around us.
