WatchHouse set to open ten more UK and US sites this year as it reports full-year revenue increases 48% to record £22.8m: Specialty coffee business WatchHouse is set to open ten more sites across the UK and US this year as it reported revenue increased 48% to a record £22.8m for the year ending 27 July 2025 compared with £15.4m the previous year. House EBITDA grew from £1.2m to £3.1m, which WatchHose said signalling the continued maturity of the estate, improved operational leverage across the group and the strength of its proposition internationally. In the year, WatchHouse operated 22 sites and opened three new locations: Marble Arch and Fitzrovia in London, and its second US outlet, in New York’s Chrysler Building. The group also signed its first franchise partnership to bring its coffee offering to the UAE, with one location in Dubai and a second opening in Abu Dhabi. Since year-end, WatchHouse has continued to scale at pace, opening five new locations, bringing the total number of owned sites to 27 globally. The brand also announced the completion of a Series B funding round, which raised £10.9m, to accelerate platform growth and enter new markets, with a focus on the US in 2026, where the brand recently added to its New York presence with an opening in Park Avenue South. WatchHouse also signed a second franchise partnership in the GCC earlier this year. Roland Horne, who founded Watchhouse in 2014, said: “The 2025 financial year was a defining year for WatchHouse. as we continued to invest behind a brand that guests in London and New York are embracing in increasing numbers.” Managing director Caroline Ottoy said: “This performance is the result of disciplined operational delivery across a growing estate. We have strengthened our systems, tightened controls and invested in the teams running our sites, and that is showing through in both the top line and House-level profitability. With new capital behind us and a clear pipeline of openings in the UK and US, we are well-positioned to continue scaling with quality.” A WatchHouse spokeswoman also told Propel that current trading at new and existing Houses is “strong, signifying confident consumer demand as the brand continues to grow and evolve”. Caroline Ottoy will be among the speakers at the Propel Multi-Club Female Leaders and Entrepreneurs Conference on Thursday, 4 June at Park Plaza Victoria London.
