The London-based specialty robusta chain has signed a new 10-store deal to expand across North Scotland, with every region in the country now allocated to franchise partners
Black Sheep Coffee is planning to double its footprint in Scotland within the next five years after announcing that it has allocated every region in the country to franchise partners.
Founded in London in 2013, Black Sheep opened its first Scottish outlet in Glasgow Central Station in October 2021 and currently operates 17 licensed stores across the country. The specialty robusta chain’s latest franchise agreement will see MDM Group Enterprises Ltd open at least 10 sites across North Scotland, including Angus, Perth & Kinross, Fife, Clackmannanshire, Aberdeenshire, Moray, and the Highlands.
Glasgow-based MDM Group Enterprises is led by experienced operator David Moore, who has previously managed Costa Coffee and KFC franchises.
In May 2025, Black Sheep Chief Operating Officer Ben Fenton credited new iced beverage ranges with driving record weekly sales across its 106 UK stores. The London-based coffee chain achieved £1.9m ($2.5m) net sales in the week ended 27 April 2025 – representing a 10% week-on-week increase and the brand’s ninth record sales week of 2025 so far.
Alongside its UK presence, which also includes a handful of outlets in Wales and Northern Ireland, Black Sheep also operates four stores in the UAE, three in the US and a single site in France.
