Fuel Juice Bars, the Kings Park Capital-backed smoothie and juice bar concept, has reported like-for-like sales up 5.5% for its first quarter and three new sites to take its estate to 30.
The company said recent openings at Grand Central Birmingham and Royal Victoria Place Tunbridge Wells will shortly be followed by openings at Intu Watford and Liverpool One.
While like-for-like sales rose 5.5% for the quarter to end of December, sales rose 5.2% for the four-week Christmas trading period.
Chief executive Chris Sullivan said: “To grow our store numbers from eleven to thirty in three years is a real success story. To maintain like for like sales growth for a fourth consecutive year, at the same time, is a truly outstanding achievement for all those involved in Fuel Juice Bars.
“We continue to expand our presence throughout the UK, trading in all the major cities such as London, Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Cardiff and Liverpool. We are also becoming a major force in provincial shopping centres. Operating from Inverness to Plymouth and all points between, we are now a truly national brand.”
