5 year old shopify store specialising in home compostable coffee pods. $615k revenue, GP margin +55%, monthly net profit $6.25k. Strong subscription pipeline.
A direct-to-consumer eco-friendly coffee brand, known for its home compostable coffee pods, is making strides in the UK market. The brand maintains a reliable medium-term recurring subscription model through its online platform and boasts a distinctive boutique identity with a diverse selection of 14 coffee products, including pods, whole beans, and ground coffee. The company is also expanding its wholesale segment, particularly targeting hotels and vacation rentals.
Key performance highlights include a 6% sales growth compared to the previous year, a 100% year-on-year increase in their wholesale business, and a strong customer rating of 4.8 out of 5 from over 1,000 reviews. The brand generates $37,000 monthly from subscriptions, with a subscriber growth of 11% over the last 12 months. Moreover, it boasts a 5% online store conversion rate, with the majority of sales being UK-based.
Operationally, the brand relies on a single European supply chain and employs a third party for roasting, encapsulation, and packaging. Logistics involve road transport to a rented warehouse in South-East England. Operations could be streamlined with outsourcing possibilities, reducing weekly workload.
The brand sees potential growth opportunities in European market expansion, further wholesale development, selected product listings on Amazon, and increasing social media presence, as current marketing relies mainly on Google ads and word of mouth. Shifting to a third-party logistics model and developing new coffee ranges are also considered.
The current owners are motivated to sell as they believe a new skill set is needed to drive further growth, allowing them to focus on other ventures.
