Esquires Coffee Houses is set to open a new store in Drogheda this month and a new unit in Airside, Santry in October.

As well as these two stores, four new Esquires Coffee Houses locations are set to open in Monaghan, Tullamore, Mullingar and Tallaght in the first six months of 2012. Esquires Coffee Houses is keen to hear from potential franchise owners interested in owning and operating any of the new stores.

Rhona, an Esquires Coffee Houses franchise owner, said: "The ongoing support we have received from Esquires has been excellent. The Esquires head office team is very experienced and hands on, they regularly visit us and we know they are always on the other end of a phone.

"We are very happy with the way things have gone for us in our first two years and we would be happy to recommend an Esquires Coffee franchise to anyone interested in getting in the café business."
