Caffè Nero, the highly rated European Coffee House brand, has today (Thursday 23rd June 2016) acquired the Harris & Hoole coffee business from Tesco.
Harris & Hoole has 43 sites in both high street (12) and supermarket (31) locations. Caffè Nero intends to retain the Harris & Hoole brand and grow the business.
Gerry Ford, Chairman and CEO said: “Today’s acquisition is the start of an exciting new journey for both Harris & Hoole and Caffè Nero. Harris & Hoole has a strong reputation for high quality coffee and that is what Caffè Nero is all about. This focus on coffee quality coupled with their enthusiastic and knowledgeable baristas give me reason to be excited about developing and growing the Harris & Hoole business over the coming years.”
