Blacks Business Brokers is pleased to announce the successful sale of CUPP Bubble Tea – Lancaster, an exciting and contemporary beverage franchise located in the vibrant centre of Lancaster. The sale marks another successful transaction for Blacks Business Brokers, who continue to demonstrate their expertise in connecting ambitious buyers with exceptional business opportunities across the UK.
CUPP Bubble Tea – Lancaster first opened its doors in 2022 after a full refit to meet the high-quality standards set by the head franchise. In a short space of time, the business became a go-to destination for students, professionals, and residents seeking premium bubble tea and a welcoming environment. The brand’s unique offering, creative flavours, and modern aesthetic quickly earned it a loyal following, complemented by a consistent stream of passing trade thanks to its prime high-street location.
Positioned in a thriving part of Lancaster surrounded by shops, offices, and independent retailers, the business benefitted from the area’s strong commercial density and high footfall. Nearby landmarks such as the Marketgate Shopping Centre, local hotels, eateries, and theatres all contributed to the steady flow of customers. Accessibility was another key factor in the business’s success, with the area being well-connected by the M6 and supported by robust public transport links.
Despite its success, the owners decided to sell due to increased commitments in their other ventures. This decision opened a valuable opportunity for a new owner-operator or investor to build upon the strong foundations already in place. The sale included all fixtures and fittings, with the property secured under a Full Repair and Insure lease, one of the most reliable and transparent forms of commercial lease arrangements.
CUPP Bubble Tea’s trading hours, from 11:00 to 21:00 seven days a week, allowed it to capture both daytime shoppers and evening visitors to the city centre. The combination of an excellent product offering, highly visible location, and strong franchise backing made this business a highly attractive proposition to potential buyers.
The sale was handled by Amy Page, one of Blacks Business Brokers’ experienced Sales Negotiators, who commented:

Lancaster’s thriving retail environment and CUPP’s loyal customer base make this a business with exciting future potential.”
