New coffee shop will be part owned by Tesco
SUPERMARKET giant Tesco are part owners of a new coffee shop franchise set to open its first branch in Amersham next week.
The south Bucks town has been chosen as the location for the first Harris and Hoole shop, which is due to open its doors on Monday.
Just under half of it will be controlled by Tesco, which has a 49 per cent controlling stake in the new company.
The rest are owned by the founders of another coffee shop chain, Taylor Street, which has five branches in London and two more in Richmond and Brighton.
The new Harris and Hoole chain - named after two people mentioned in Samuel Pepys' diary - is being marketed as an artisan family-run coffee outlet. The first branch will open in Sycamore Road.
