Idea

We've sold more than 70,000 binibowls!

We are currently developing Combini branded bottled tea to be sold beyond physical outlets while opening avenues for future expansion.

St Andrews Charity Fashion Show and CombiniCo collaborated on a unique British debut for rising South Korean design house, Auspicious.

CombiniCo regularly develops editorial lifestyle shoots for brand catalogues displayed in-store and available for purchase.

Opened in June 2019, CombiniCafé serves organic Japanese tea and coffee with an 100% plant-based menu.

We retain loyal customers through our CombiniClub system that incentivises people to load credit into their account and simply pay with their name.

CombiniCo was founded by two students at the University of St Andrews, who envisioned a brand that elevated everyday fast-food experiences in university towns across the world. During its first year, the store generated over £500,000 sales and £76,000 profit in a 20 square metre, six-seat store and is known locally as one of the most exciting and fastest-growing companies in St Andrews, with £26k profit overall y/e April 2019.

Its name derives from the East Asian convenience stores, otherwise known as ‘Combini’, whose values centre around simplicity, convenience, and great customer service. CombiniCo’s ready-to-go model entails a quick cashless system and on-site re-stocking method which enables products to be purchased within seconds. Alongside, CombiniCo is able to distribute and sell products through satellite outlets (CombiniStops) in convenient places such as libraries and offices around town.

Key Milestones:

- Current Q1 revenue double last year's Q1 earnings

- Over 70,000 signature BiniBowls sold from 6 sq/m kitchen

- Store earns £2,360 per square foot each year, competing with Burberry (£2,300) the second highest retailer in the UK right after Apple (£3,250)

- National Winner of Scottish Asian Food Awards 2018

CombiniCo is looking to raise £200k on Crowdcube to build a third retail and flagship location in Edinburgh, and to develop a line of organic bottled tea beverages.
