Tesco UK has announced it is selling off its Euphorium bakeries, BBC has reported. Soho Coffee is to take over Euphorium's high-street shops and its Islington factory, while its Weybridge factory will be run by Samworth Brothers.
The company has already sold several businesses, including Dobbies Garden Centres, restaurant chain Giraffe and the Harris & Hoole coffee shops.
The in-store Euphorium bakeries will now be run by Tesco, which has promised to offer the current bakery staff the opportunity to join the Tesco team.
