Caffè Nero has reported record sales of £626.4m for the year to 31 May 2025, marking a 12% rise against the previous year.
The coffee chain, which runs 1,150 stores in 11 countries, said like-for-like sales grew 7% over the year. It added 94 outlets during the year, including 62 new openings and 32 acquired through its purchase of the 200 Degrees and FCB brands in the UK.
In its home market, Caffè Nero achieved like-for-like sales growth of 7% and lifted overall sales by 10%. The group said it expects to open at least 75 new stores over the next 12 months.
Gerry Ford, founder and chief executive of Caffè Nero, said: “I’m hugely encouraged by the group’s performance during the last financial year. Despite tough trading conditions and a challenging financial climate, we have continued to outperform the market and have grown our customer numbers.
“It’s a testament to the hard work of our store teams and the strength of our brand. I’m really proud of what all our people have delivered over the last 12 months. We enter the current financial year with strong momentum and have set ourselves up well for another successful year.”
Founded in 1997, Caffè Nero is the largest independent coffee house brand in Europe and remains family-owned. It employs more than 11,000 people worldwide.
Through its charitable foundation, launched in 2016, the company has donated more than $1.1m (£810m) to humanitarian projects in the UK and abroad, as well as to coffee-farming communities that supply its beans.
