EAT prepares and sells a range of freshly made sandwiches, soups, salads, hot pies and coffees. The business serves over 300,000 customers a week and during the last year has served over 2 million cups of soup. One of the key factors in EAT's success has been the trend towards healthier eating. At the time of investment, EAT had 45 outlets, mostly situated in prime sites in Central London, with others in locations such as Birmingham, Cambridge, Windsor, Canterbury, Leicester, Manchester and Gatwick North Terminal. Our investment has assisted the growth of the business which now has over 70 shops and is on course to hit the original plan of 100 shops by summer 2008.
