Black Sheep has bean busy

BLACK Sheep Coffee has bought up rival chain Taylor St in a move which will significantly expand the brand’s London footprint, PA can reveal.

As part of the deal the hip coffee chain, which already has 22 cafes and kiosks in the capital, has picked up all of Taylor St’s UK locations except its South Quay production unit, adding another eight sites to its growing empire.

It comes just a month after the business secured £13million in funding to expand in the US, Europe, UAE and Asia.
