Black Sheep Coffee has completed a nine-site franchise agreement to develop its stores across Tyne & Wear, marking a significant expansion into Northern regions of the UK.
The agreement with Mindy Kaur and Bal Singh, operating through Dhesi Food & Beverages Ltd., will lead to the rollout of Black Sheep Coffee across the North East, bringing the brand’s bold energy and disruptive coffee ethos from Newcastle to Sunderland.
Black Sheep Coffee said the latest signing reinforces its position as one of the UK’s fastest-growing independent coffee brands, powered by a franchising model designed to champion entrepreneurial operators and local community-led growth.
Eirik Holth, co-founder of Black Sheep Coffee, said: “These new stores will be places for everyone to enjoy our speciality Robusta blend, signature Norwegian Waffles, 100 per cent ceremonial grade Matcha and much more. We can’t wait to welcome the local community.”
The company adds that it is renowned for ‘unapologetically’ bold flavours and an unrivalled commitment to quality, sourcing the first speciality-grade 100 per cent Robusta coffee, and going against market trends to become the ‘black sheep’ of the coffee world.
