“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Cafe Fortune operated 27 sites at the end of September 2025. Turnover increased by 18%, driven primarily by the opening of four new stores during the financial year. These openings were delivered through organic growth and funded using a combination of retained earnings and bank financing.”
- “Café Fortune continues to pursue a strategy of sustained organic growth. During the year, the company successfully opened four new Drive Thru sites: Telford Wrekin, Congleton, St Helens Linkway, and Bromborough. In the next financial year, we plan to open a further 4-6 sites, supported by a strong development pipeline. Over the next three years, we have 15-20 additional restaurant openings in progress.”
