Leicester Tigers are pleased to announce that Jenno’s Coffee House will be working alongside the club and operating a café from the grounds of the new Club Shop.
A leading Leicestershire institution since they opened their first store as Cosmo Coffee in 2016, they rebranded their first ever location two years later and Jenno’s Coffee House was born.
Now with two locations in the area and another two, including the agreed collaboration with the Club Shop, under construction, the popular chain is undergoing further expansion in order to meet local demand.
The new Club Shop, due to open toward the back-end of August with an exact date still to be confirmed, will feature significantly more space than has ever been seen at Mattioli Woods Welford Road, over double the size of the current stores that sit beneath the newly-branded Europcar stand.
With construction well underway, the shop is scheduled to be built beneath the Brooklyn Hotel that sits next to Mattioli Woods Welford Road, facing out onto the Tigers Plaza, whilst the Coffee House will face directly out onto Aylestone Road. Those who are regulars on the route will find the café to have extended opening hours to those of the shop and be available 7 days a week as well as on matchdays to provide a range of food and drink options to the Tigers faithful.
Fans of the Coffee House will find familiar favourites on offer. For the coffee connoisseur, there are a wide-range of exceptional coffee options, whether hot from the Espresso Bar or over ice whilst other drinks will include a range of teas, hot chocolates, smoothies and fat-free frozen yoghurt shakes.
There will also be food served at the café, with Jenno’s breakfast favourites like porridge, crumpets and toasted items sitting alongside savoury sandwiches and toasties and sweet treats like brownies and scones.
Speaking about the agreement, Leicester Tigers Chief Operating Officer Chris Rose said: “We are delighted to be working alongside Jenno’s and for them to be a part of the new club shop. This is an extremely exciting opportunity for supporters and local residents to be provided with the brands range of coffees and hot drinks as well as delicious cakes, pastries and beyond”.
Asked about joining with Tigers and the upcoming launch of the Club Shop, Paul Jenno, Founder and Owner of Jenno’s Coffee House said: “We were flattered when Leicester Tigers approached us regarding the hospitality offering in the new location at the base of the Brooklyn Hotel. Leicester Tigers are clearly a progressive business with an innovative brand and we are delighted to be a part of this latest development , and we are looking forward to working with them into the future.
We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of our customers who have supported us over the years and through the pandemic , without you we wouldn't be able to undertake this next stage of our development as a small Leicester business.”
The new Tigers Club Shop is due to open toward the end of the August and will feature a grand opening with activities and games on the plaza as well as featuring appearances from some special guests.
