Good design is helping to drive a significant uplift in sales at legacy Esquires Coffee stores and ensure new stores in the network offer customers an experience that is at the forefront of café culture. The Esquires stores in Doncaster in South Yorkshire and Ambleside in the picturesque Lakes District in North West England demonstrate the potential. The stores, which were respectively refurbished in the new livery in November 2016 and January 2017, are now among the top performers in the global Esquires network. Quarterly sales at the Ambleside store are now 71% ahead of where they were a year ago, while transaction volumes and average transaction values are up by around 36% and 26% respectively. Meanwhile the Doncaster store has seen sales increase by 39% while transaction volumes and average transaction values have risen by around 6% and 33% respectively. The cafes’ enhanced food offer has been a major contributor to the growth. Indeed Ambleside’ has grown food sales by 148% and Doncaster has lifted food sales by 55%. This trend is not an isolated case. Indeed, on a sales-per-square meter basis, rebranded stores in the UK are some 30% ahead of the stores awaiting a rebrand. “Cook’s branding and design expertise are core to our proposition. This coupled with our ability to select great locations and committed franchisees, our ability to identify and effectively implement new trends in café service and culture, our back office systems and our understanding of retail technologies add up to a strong offer for franchisees and importantly Cooks shareholders,” says Cooks Executive Chairman Keith Jackson. AMBLESIDE DONCASTER UK UK BEFORE AFTER BEFORE AFTER The refurbishment programme across the UK is informed by Cooks’ determination to deliver a ‘third wave’ artisanal and local coffee experience, replacing the older Esquires format that drew heavily on the ‘second wave’ approach of all stores looking the same. In Ambleside, the store draws its inspiration from the heritage of tramping – or rambling as it is called in the UK – with the walls adorned with maps and tramping equipment. However, all stores remain true to the Esquires Organic & Fairtrade brand livery, deploying a fashionable mid-century colour palate, quirky artisanal typefaces and frequent references to sustainability, including the use of wooden signs and textured crockery. In line with the evolution of third-wave coffee, the stores offer a significantly expanded food offer with an emphasis on fresh, less processed and sustainably-sourced natural ingredients that reflect a growing focus on health and well-being. This change alone is responsible for much of the uplift in financial performance, with food sales rising 147.8% in Ambleside and 54.6% in Doncaster compared to the same period a year ago. Of the UK’s 31 stores, around 12 still sport the old Esquires livery. The company is working closely with franchisees to complete the programme of rebranding that delivers attractive returns for franchisees as well as Cooks. ESQUIRES COFFEE OPERATING

Thank you. I also must thank Laura, Mary, Paul and Lauren for their continued encouragement and the many friends who welcomed me into their homes during the final months of my work. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am immensely indebted to the encouragement, guidance and patience of my thesis committee and especially my chair, Mary Kay Blakely. When my initial plans to study the launch of Esquire Middle East from inside their newsroom in Dubai fizzled, Mary Kay urged me to continue my research stateside.
