Bean Coffee opens at Mediacity

BEAN Coffee has moved into Manchester with the opening of two new coffee shops in The Quays at MediaCityUK.

The two outlets are based in the The Victoria and Quay West office buildings within MediaCityUK, Manchester.

Bean’s first outlet, “The Meeting Place”, was recently named in The Independent newspaper as being in the top 50 coffee shops in the UK by a panel of coffee experts.

The Liverpool-based firm started out at Peel Group’s Kings Dock development and said the new deal strengthens its working relationship with landlord Peel Group.

Bean also operates a coffee shop and deli at  Brunswick Business Park and has a mobile unit, the ‘Bean Machine’, operating at festivals and events across the north west..

Jon Whyte, director of Bean Coffee said “We are very excited to have opened our new outlets in Manchester and especially being in MediaCityUK.  The feedback has been amazing, giving us further impetus for our continuing developments with Peel”.

Liza Marco of Peel said: “We are delighted that Bean Coffee has decided to open two outlets at The Quays MediaCityUK. The high quality of the food and drinks served by Bean is providing an excellent complimentary amenity for both the existing office occupiers, residents and visitors to The Quays MediaCityUK.”

“We will continue to develop other potential opportunities and anticipate the Bean brand will grow further within our portfolio in the near future.”
