Blacks Business Brokers Facilitates Successful Sale Of Bark & Brew Coffee Shop
Blacks Business Brokers are proud to announce the successful sale of Bark & Brew Coffee Shop, a unique pet-friendly café located in the heart of Mountsorrel, Leicestershire. Since its opening in 2023, Bark & Brew has quickly become a local favourite, combining quality human-focused café culture with dedicated offerings for canine companions. The sale marks another significant milestone for Blacks Business Brokers, recognised for their professionalism, deep market knowledge and ability to match the right buyer with the right business opportunity.
Founded by a passionate entrepreneur, Bark & Brew Coffee Shop brought something new and refreshing to the café scene in Mountsorrel. Customers were drawn not only by its inviting interior and strong coffee game, but also by its innovative pet-friendly approach, offering dog treats and even full menus tailored to furry friends. The business swiftly attracted a loyal following, amassing over 8,000 social media followers and earning glowing reviews across Google, Facebook and TripAdvisor.
Bark & Brew’s charm wasn’t just in its concept. Its prime location within a busy parade of shops in a well-populated residential area, combined with low local competition and excellent public transport links, positioned it as a go-to destination for breakfast, lunch or a quick coffee. Nearby schools, parks and local amenities only added to the consistent footfall and frequent visits from regulars and new customers alike.
The coffee shop operated from a stylishly presented single-storey premises with approximately 22 covers inside. The glazed shopfront, bold signage and warm interior gave it undeniable curb appeal. Inside, a fully equipped kitchen and beautifully curated décor made the experience memorable for all visitors. The café’s operating hours were tailored for daytime trade, opening from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM most days, and slightly shorter hours on Sundays, with Tuesdays reserved as a day off. The manageable operating schedule made it ideal for owner-operators, who would benefit from the lifestyle flexibility the business allowed.
Despite its early success and potential for future growth, the current owner made the decision to sell due to other business commitments which had grown unexpectedly. Recognising the value and appeal of the café, they chose Blacks Business Brokers to manage the sale, seeking out the most professional and discreet path to transition ownership.

From day one of the marketing campaign, we experienced strong buyer interest, which really shows how attractive the business was in this location and sector. We were delighted to find the right buyer and ensure a smooth transition. We’re confident the café will continue to thrive under its new ownership.”
