Group UK
Scaling expertise beyond individual sites
Alongside its extensive Costa Coffee portfolio, Scoffs continues to invest in its partnership with Itsu, which is already demonstrating strong potential. As one of the largest franchise businesses in the UK, the group has developed deep specialist expertise that extends well beyond individual locations. At its core, Scoffs is a franchise specialist, combining operational scale with a strong capability in team development and multi site management.
This expertise has made the business an attractive partner for brands looking to grow.“ That was the case with Itsu back in 2023,” Paul explains.“ Itsu was looking for a franchise partner with the scale to operate multiple sites and support long term expansion beyond London.
“ As we operate across half of England – from Norfolk to Cornwall – we had the operational breadth they needed, so they approached us. We were also exploring opportunities with other leading brands at the time but chose to move forward with Itsu given their ambition and the opportunity we saw in the pan Asian category.
