Fast growing London coffee shop operator Grind has announced its seventh site, at the Royal Exchange, Threadneedle Street.

The group opens its Covent Garden site on Friday and said Royal Exchange will open next month.

David Abrahamovitch, chief executive and co-founder said: “We’ve been asked to bring Grind to the city at least once a week over the last five years since we first opened in Shoreditch.

“The City boasts some of the most discerning, sophisticated consumers in London, and those most appreciative of the volume and speed of service that Grind has led the way with throughout two years of expansion.

“We’re sorry to have made the City wait this long for a Grind of their own – we just had to wait until we found the right building and I’m so pleased we’ve found it in our beautiful new space at Royal Exchange.”

Covent Garden Grind will introduce a new counter offer with an array of flatbreads on offer as well as breakfasts and all-day dishes.
