Rise and shine Manchester as a new coffee spot is heading to the city! You may be familiar with their pastel pink bags of freshly ground coffee or tins filled with compostable coffee pods, but now the cult coffee brand Grind is set to open their first venue outside of London in Manchester this summer.
London-born coffee company Grind has been expanding across the capital for over a decade with an extensive portfolio of cafés, coffee shops, and coffee trucks, as well as their own coffee roastery. Now, Grind is preparing to open its first Northern venue, located in the new St Michael’s development between Peter Street and Deansgate.
Known for their buzzing all-day coffee shops serving speciality-grade coffee, fresh, seasonal food, and expertly-crafted cocktails (think Tiramisu Martini and Hot Flat White Russian), the B Corp certified coffee brand will be bringing their extensive Grind menu to Manchester, from takeaway coffees to bottomless brunches.
Founded back in 2011 when David Abrahamovitch turned his father’s old mobile phone store in Shoreditch into the first Grind café, Manchester has long been on the horizon for Grind. With family connections to the city, David has spent years looking for the perfect site and felt that the new St Michael’s development had everything they needed.
David Abrahamovitch, Grind Founder & CEO said: “We’ve always said that if we were to do a big site outside of London, the first place we would go would be Manchester. My wife is Mancunian and her whole family live in Manchester, so I’ve spent a lot of time there over the years and I’ve always thought that a Grind would work well. We’ve looked at various locations over the years, but thanks to Gary (Neville) and the team at Relentless we think we’ve finally found the perfect home for Grind in St Michaels, in the heart of Manchester. We cannot wait to get open in the summer! ”
Over the last decade, Grind has built a loyal following with fourteen locations across London, an online business that provides sustainable coffee to homes all over the world, and a growing presence in UK retail stores. The brand is also known for being served onboard British Airways flights, being the exclusive global coffee supplier to Soho House and its collaborations with brands like Baileys and BrewDog, and icons like Hello Kitty and American punk heroes Green Day.
Grind will join the likes of Big Mamma Group restaurant,Circolo Populare, and Japanese Peruvian dining spot Chotto Matte, at the new St Michael’s development, headed up by Gary Neville’s company, Relentless Developments.
