New and exciting plans for Wild Bean Cafe by BP announced at Retail's Best

bp has started rolling out a new food and beverage franchise offer to dealers – a self-serve Wild Bean Cafe modular unit concept, aimed at sites pressed to recruit enough staff to meet customers food and drink needs or with a high customer throughput.

It’s designed by bp with its 20 years of knowledge of coffee and food offers for the forecourt.

It is a fully integrated/modular design, so retailers can choose which elements will work best in their stores from: coffee, self-serve fresh blended iced drinks, smoothies, juices and milkshakes – a total of 54 varieties of drinks and flavours.

There are also hot food units that serve: pastries, fresh and hot food to go, baked on site, all fresh that day.

It has one supply chain, making it easy for our dealers. bp covers the cost of goods, waste, the consumables and delivery costs.

At the end of 2023, 38 dealers had signed up to the franchise offer - with 10 dealer sites installing the Wild Bean Cafe micro market format and 28 sites taking the coffee unit. bp is aiming to roll out the franchise offer to 100 more dealer sites in 2024.
