More brands to go in coffee shop shake-up
For a nation of (supposedly) hardened tea-drinkers, the British sure do drink a lot of coffee.
There are now more than 8,000 espresso-based coffee shops in the UK, and the number of branded coffee chain units alone went from 778 in December 1999 to 2,299 in June 2004 to create a £1b market.
