An Edinburgh coffee shop owner has shared the story of how he transformed his business to survive the pandemic.
When the pandemic first hit, the firm’s Melville Place and Frederick Street coffee shops suffered a 72.5% loss in 2020 as regular customers and tourists stayed at home.
However, Robi Lambie, the man behind one of Scotland’s most respected coffee brands – Cairngorm Coffee - pivoted the business' focus to an online model amid the pandemic in order to save it. Since then, the coffee company has seen a 1,100% growth in online orders of clothing and coffee in 2021 and it's now on track to turnover £1m for the first time in 2022.
