Cobra Coffee is delighted to announce the acquisition of Amsric Limited, the part of Amsric that operates Starbucks stores. As a result, Cobra Coffee will operate 12 additional Starbucks stores in locations including Exeter, Plymouth, Portsmouth and Southampton.

This takes the total number of Starbucks stores in the Cobra Coffee portfolio to 47.

We have expanded rapidly in recent years to bring the Starbucks Experience to customers across the South of England, through both our physical stores and digital channels such as Starbucks ® Delivers.

The acquisition of Amsric Limited will allow us to continue this expansion in the South West of the UK. We will also take forward existing Amsric plans to open two new Starbucks stores in Plymouth and Bognor Regis.

We look forward to welcoming 120 partners (colleagues) into the Cobra Coffee family, and we will be working closely with Amsric to ensure a smooth handover across every store, with terms and conditions for all partners (colleagues) remaining unchanged. Store product ranges and opening hours are also unaffected.
