The group, which operates 15 cafés, restaurants and cocktail bars, and coffee trucks across the UK, will open a 35-site at London’s Waterloo station next week (15 December).
The café will be located on the mezzanine level, opposite Platform 5, and will be open daily from 7am to 10pm.
The new site, opened in partnership with One Retail, the retail arm of Compass Group UK & Ireland, expands Grind’s footprint in travel retail beyond its partnerships with British Airways and Dubai International Airport. Waterloo is one of the country’s busiest commuter hubs, with more than 170,000 commuters passing through the station every day.
“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,” says David Abrahamovitch, CEO and founder of Grind.
“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.”
