Maxol and Ground Espresso Bars announce £1 million partnership

The first of the new stores will open towards the end of March in Maxol’s flagship site on the A26 at Tannaghmore, Co Antrim, which itself opened just under a year ago, with an investment of over £200,000 and creating 10 new jobs.

The new Tannaghmore store marks the 24th for the coffee chain and should prove popular for both remote workers and families who can benefit from high-speed Wi-Fi, desktop charging points, large community tables and a new indoor and outdoor kids’ play area, which is a first for Ground.

“We are delighted to be announcing this new partnership with Ground Espresso Bars,” said Maxol chief executive Brian Donaldson.

“As a family owned and operated business with a passion for quality and innovation, we have much in common with our new partners and we look forward to developing several projects with Ground over the next three years.

“We want our customers to have plenty of choice within our sites and by introducing Ground into our estate that is exactly what we are providing.

“Along with our existing food offerings that include our own Maxol deli, we are working hard to provide our customers with a fabulous new offer within a modern and welcoming environment.”

Karen Gardiner, Director, Ground Espresso Bars added: “We are really looking forward to opening this new store with Maxol and expanding our store network.

“The partnership represents a significant investment by both companies and we look forward to seeing this develop further over the coming years.”

“In addition to featuring our first indoor and outdoor children’s play area, this new store at Tannaghmore offers easy parking for customers and a shared space which is suitable for business meetings or catching up with friends”, added Karen.
