Esquires Coffee Leighton Buzzard Opening

We’re excited to welcome the newest addition to the Esquires Coffee family — Store #74, now open in the charming market town of Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire.

This latest opening is part of our growing UK network of locally owned and operated stores. Each location is run by a dedicated franchise partner — some seasoned veterans, others launching their first store — with most taking an active, hands-on role in day-to-day operations.

Like all Esquires Coffee locations, the Leighton Buzzard store follows our core format: serving 100% organic, Fairtrade-certified coffee alongside fresh food prepared on site each day. This approach gives franchise partners and their teams full control over preparation and service, supported by robust systems to ensure our brand standards are consistently met.

Before opening day, we had the chance to visit the new store and snap a few photos while it was still quiet. It’s always inspiring to see how each location adds its own unique touches to the familiar Esquires experience — while staying true to our tried-and-tested operational model.

For us, franchising isn’t just a way to grow quickly. It’s about fostering close relationships with the people who run our stores and building a sustainable, community-driven business through local ownership and operational excellence.
