Japanese speciality coffee house Arabica, which has more than 200 cafes and franchises across the world, has announced its its fourth UK location.
The site will open within Turbine Hall A of Battersea Power Station in January, following a soft launch.
The company said its Battersea opening is “part of a broader strategy to expand its footprint in high-profile global locations”.
It comes after Arabica hired Mario C Bauer, former head of international franchising at Vapiano, as a non-executive director.
The group made its UK debut in 2019 with two London openings – in Covent Garden and Hackney, then opened further sites – in South Moulton Street and Spitalfields Market – with the former has now closed.
