Yummy Pub Co bids to roll-out Ssshh supper-club concept
Yummy Pub Co, the venture led by Tim Foster and Anthony Pender, hopes to secure a new site every three months and is focusing on its supper-club concept Ssshh for a rollout that could extend to 20 sites.
It follows a successful series of six Ssshh events at Yummy’s Somers Town Coffee House near Euston Station in London, which opened earlier this year.
Foster told M&C Report the company has also completed on a fifth unnamed site that he hopes to be trading by the end of 2012.
“It will be our first step towards opening a site every three months.”
The Ssshh concept sees customers sign up for a meal with strangers. It currently operates in the top section of Somers Town Coffee House and Foster said a rollout would focus on retail units rather than pubs.
“We are giving it another two weeks to see if it can stack up as a stand-alone mo-del, then we’ll see if we can roll out to retail,” he said.
