How Blue Cap Coffee Creates the Perfect Brew for Garden Centres

Garden centres have evolved far beyond plant nurseries. Today, they are lifestyle destinations, offering everything from home décor to seasonal events. With the UK garden centre market valued at £5 billion annually, businesses must capitalize on every opportunity to enhance the customer experience.

One of the biggest revenue-driving opportunities? A great café experience.

Research shows that over 60% of garden centre visitors expect a high-quality café offering, and coffee plays a pivotal role in keeping customers on-site longer, increasing average spending, and encouraging repeat visits.

The Challenges of Running a Garden Centre Café
