Abokado, the healthy eating chain backed by Kings Park Capital, has announced it has further strengthened its operational team with the appointment of two operations managers.
The Mark Lilley-led company said that the new roles would support new store openings and builds on the management hires made earlier this year.
The 25-strong group also announced that its focus on growing sales outside of the key lunch period continued “to pay off”.
It said that more than 40% of customer visits were now outside of lunch with both breakfast and evenings showing significant increases on the previous year.
It said that this was also driving an increased frequency of visits with almost 80% of customers visiting one of its sites at least once per week and 60% more than two to three times per week.
Lilley said: “Attracting the best talent into our business is key to us achieving our ambitious growth plans. We’re delighted to welcome these experienced individuals to the Abokado family. It’s also great to see our focus on breakfast and evenings really beginning to pay off and our wonderful customers becoming ever more attached to our brand.”
