UK-based coffee brand Grind has opened a new café at Waterloo station in London, one of the UK’s busiest commuter hubs.
The Waterloo site has been developed in partnership with One Retail, the retail specialist division of Compass Group UK & Ireland. The opening extends Grind’s presence in travel retail, adding to its existing partnerships with British Airways and Dubai International Airport.
According to the company, the new location serves coffee, food and alcoholic drinks to commuters and travellers passing through the station. Grind said the opening marks its first café within a UK railway station.
Grind currently operates 15 cafés, restaurants, cocktail bars and coffee trucks across the UK. The Waterloo café represents its latest expansion beyond its original East London base.
David Abrahamovitch, CEO and founder of Grind, said: “Bringing Grind to one of the UK’s busiest stations marks a major milestone for us – we can’t wait to bring our craft coffee to thousands of commuters at Waterloo. We’re offering travellers a completely new experience: a place where they can grab a great coffee on the go, sit down for brunch, or unwind with cocktails after a long day. It’s our first in a station, and we’re thrilled to make it happen with One Retail.”
The café – located on the mezzanine level opposite platform five – operates daily from 7am to 10pm. The venue has seating for 35 customers.
