What the press is saying about Kaspa’s Desserts franchise

Kaspa’s - Ones to watch

“Horizons’ biannual Ones to Watch research tracks the emergence and growth of new eating out brands once they reach five units through their period of critical growth to 25 outlets. Brands qualify for inclusion if they’ve shown growth of at least 20% over the previous three years combined.”

“Dessert café Kaspa’s emerged as one of the fastest growing brands in Ones To Watch. The franchise concept, specialising in ice creams, waffles and milkshakes grew from two sites in 2013 to 25 in 2016.”

“Dessert cafés are a relatively new addition to our high streets but have expanded rapidly through franchising. The US-style concept looks set to grow in the UK, attracting millennials as an alternative to coffee bars as places to meet and hang out with friends.”

Kaspa’s - Helping to Save the High Street

“Some sectors actually recorded growth, with tobacconists, coffee shops and beauty salons increasing in number.

Ice-cream parlours are also on the up, thanks to expansion by the Ben & Jerry’s and Kaspa’s chains.

Mike Jervis, a retail specialist at PwC which commissioned the research, said the “relatively low” number of closures over the period reflected a “more stable environment”.
