Will soup-kitchen shares stay hot?: The strong consumer appetite for fresh, quality soup has triggered the interest of investors in companies such as Soup Works
Article Abstract:
Soup Works, a fresh-soup company, floated on Ofex at 10 pence a share in 1998, and shares have since reached 22 pence. The fresh soup market in the UK is worth around 60 million pounds sterling, and the New Covent Garden Soup Company (NCGSC) claims 40% of it. The company recently established an outlet in Victoria Station, and Soup Opera has set up an outlet in Canary Wharf. Soup Works is planning expansion with at least two further outlets in the year to July 1999, and its products may go on to the shelves of the supermarket arm of Sir Terence Conran's Bluebird restaurant.
