We are looking for a driven and passionate franchisee to take on the Alton, Hampshire store.

Opened in December 2023, this 1,800 sq. ft. site occupies a former bank building on Alton High Street, giving it strong visibility in a busy pedestrian area. The location benefits from steady footfall supported by a mix of national retailers and local independents. With an asking price below the cost of opening a new store and no Franchise Fee, this is a cost-efficient way to acquire an operating site in a strong town centre location.

Esquires Coffee is an established global brand focused on 100% organic Fairtrade coffee, freshly made food and consistent service. Founded in 1993 and now part of Cooks Coffee Company, the brand operates across several countries with a clear set of operational standards.

In the UK, Esquires has close to 80 stores and uses a regional development model that gives franchisees practical support and local insight. The brand intends to grow its presence over the coming years while maintaining its focus on sustainability and service quality. For an investor, the Alton store offers a solid trading environment, a lower cost of entry and the backing of an established brand with room to grow.
