Abokado, the healthy eating chain, has announced that it has further strengthened its management team with the hire of two Operations Managers. This investment is to support new store openings and builds on the management hires made earlier this year.
Sales outside lunch period
Abokado’s focus on growing sales outside the key lunch period is continuing to pay off . More than 40% of customer visits are now outside l unch with both breakfast and evenings showing significant increases on the previous year. This is also driving an increased frequency of visits with almost 80% of customers visiting an Abokado at least once per week and 60% more than 2 to 3 times per week.
Mark Lilley, director said ‘Attracting the best talent into our business is key to us achieving our ambitious growth plans. We’re delighted to welcome these experienced individuals to the Abokado family. It’s also great to see our focus on breakfast and evenings really beginning to pay off and our wonderful customers becoming ever more attached to our brand.’

It was founded in 2004 by Mark & Lindsay Lilley with a mission to help people lead happier and healthier lives. The business employs over 250 people and offers a menu of sushi, salads, noodles, soups, breakfast and coffee all of which are freshly prepared in-store. The company has ambitious growth plans to achieve its vision of making its Feel Great Food accessible to more and more people.
