The brand, which was poached by Issa brothers’ EG Group in 2021, currently has coffee kiosks in 65 EG convenience stores and 33 Asda supermarkets.
The expansion programme will also see four kiosks introduced at EG service stations before the end of the year.
EG Group vowed to create some 22,700 jobs in the UK in the next four years, thanks to investment in its foodservice arm.
Mohsin Issa and Zuber Issa, co-founders and co-CEOs of EG Group have previously described the firm’s food arm as a “significant growth opportunity globally.”
