92 Degrees

92 Degrees is a fast-growing, premium coffee shop franchise born in Liverpool, founded on its unique blend of high-quality, ethically sourced beans for their Damn Fine Coffee™, and a sophisticated, community-focused atmosphere. Unlike traditional, corporate coffee chains, 92 Degrees prioritizes the "third-place" experience - a space between work and home where customers feel a genuine sense of belonging. As 92 Degrees expands across the UK, they are seeking ambitious, hands-on franchise partners who are passionate about coffee culture and customer service.

The brand has grown from a single outlet into a recognised name across towns and cities, making franchising the natural step in its continued expansion.
