Blank Street Declares 2025 a Landmark Year as Profits Surge Amidst Competition's Struggles

Blank Street, the fast-growing coffee chain, has declared 2025 a 'landmark year'. This comes as the company announced its first-ever company-wide profitability and a significant surge in turnover, reaching £36m over the past two years. Meanwhile, older coffee chains struggle with the cost-of-living crisis and economic uncertainty.

Blank Street's journey began in 2021 with a single coffee cart in Williamsburg. Since then, it has expanded rapidly, opening its first London shop in 2022. The company's success can be attributed to its tech-driven approach, focusing on small, efficient neighborhood cafés that serve high-quality coffee quickly and conveniently.

The company has also leaned into collaborations and experiences to attract younger customers. In-store events and menu collaborations with influencers have helped Blank Street stand out. This strategy, coupled with a strong focus on matcha drinks - which saw a 114% increase in sales last summer - has driven Blank Street's popularity. The blueberry matcha drink even became a social media trend, briefly making Google tag the company as the 'home of the blueberry matcha'.

Blank Street's co-founder, Ignacio Lladó, described 2025 as a 'landmark year'. This is evident in the company's growth and profitability, which has allowed it to outperform older chains like Costa Coffee, Pret A Manger, and Starbucks in recent years. Blank Street's success also coincides with challenges faced by these older chains due to the cost-of-living crisis and global economic uncertainty.

Blank Street's innovative approach to coffee retail has driven its rapid growth and profitability. With a focus on technology, collaboration, and unique offerings like matcha drinks, the company has successfully differentiated itself from older coffee chains. As it continues to expand, Blank Street is poised to become a significant player in the coffee industry.
