The first Tea Monkey café in the partnership will be opened in one of Mothercare’s stores in Leeds, which was rebranded and will be launched on the weekend of Saturday May 18 and 19. The official ribbon cutting will be held at 10am, with the event featuring a host of children’s entertainment with cupcakes being given out by Tea Monkey’s mascot.

The partnership was seen as a natural one as both companies have similar values in terms of providing accessible and appealing facilities for families whilst providing their customers with the highest level of service and quality products. The signature Tea Monkey iPads, mounted on the wall in every store, will have games to keep the kids entertained as parents enjoy their well-deserved cuppa.

Tracey Bovingdon, owner of Tea Monkey said: “I am delighted to partner with Mothercare to provide and enhanced all round customer experience. As a mother of two, I understand what demands are put on parents and by uniting our brands under one roof, we can provide parents with the opportunity to take some time out with their children to refuel during a busy day shopping. We are a nation of tea drinkers and as somebody who loves tea I wanted to provide people with an ethical brand of cafes to quench the British thirst. I hope that this partnership with Mothercare will be the first of many in the retail sector, working with brands that match our values.”
