Muffin Break Opens New Store in Newbury, Creating 15 Jobs
Muffin Break, the popular café-bakery brand known for its freshly baked goods and handcrafted coffee, is continuing its UK growth with the opening of a brand-new store in Newbury - marking its 72nd location nationwide.
Located in the Parkway Shopping Centre, the new store represents a £290,000 investment and has created 15 new full time and part time jobs, owned by experienced franchisee Bilal Haidar.
Muffin Break is known for its on-site baking, serving a wide range of sweet and savoury treats made fresh daily, alongside expertly made coffee sourced from premium 100% Arabica beans.
Designed with a warm, welcoming interior, the Newbury café offers a relaxed environment for locals and visitors alike to enjoy everything from a quick coffee break to a leisurely lunch.
Speaking about the launch, Mike Johnson, Franchise Development Executive at Foodco UK, said, “We’re thrilled to bring Muffin Break to Newbury, a town with a strong community feel and a thriving high street.
“With Bilal Haidar and a skilled team in place, we’re confident the Newbury store will soon establish itself as a local favourite for freshly prepared food and expertly brewed coffee.”
Guests can enjoy an all-day menu featuring fresh muffins, cakes, toasties, sandwiches, and a variety of vegetarian and brunch options, alongside barista-made coffee and other hot and cold beverages.
The Newbury Muffin Break store will be open from 8am to 5:30pm, Monday to Saturday, and from 10am to 4:30pm on Sundays.
Muffin Break is part of the Foodco Group, which also owns sister brand Jamaica Blue, with both brands continuing to grow across the UK.
