The firm’s outlet in Gloucester Road, London, closed shortly before the administrators were appointed.

The remaining nine coffee bars continue to trade as normal. The 70 outlets franchised through Coffee Republic Franchising Ltd and 97 concessions which operate within cinemas, retail outlets and hotels throughout the UK, are not in administration and are also continuing to trade as normal.

Richard Hill, KPMG partner and joint administrator said: “Following our assessment of the Coffee Republic (UK) Ltd-owned outlets we have had to take the decision to close those which are no longer viable to leave the profitable parts of the business remaining. We are now in discussions with interested parties with a view to selling the remaining business as a going concern. There has been huge interest already from potential purchasers and I remain confident of achieving a sale during the course of next week.”
