As I understand it the suggested tie up with Tesco is with its extensive E. European operations, not the UK bit. Tesco currently earns 20% (or did I read 32% somewhere earlier today?) of its revenues from its operations in Europe and Asia - something like that anyway.
So, maybe you're all a bit right (and an equal and opposite amount a bit wrong!).
My own instinct FWIW is that COH should stick to its last - I don't see tangling with Tesco resulting in increased gross margin or return on capital for a tiddler like COH.

Agree with stockdog - Tesco always looks after itself - doesn't make any sense for it to tie in with COH. Have been to Warsaw recently and was pleasantly surprised - the people there, especially, those less than 45 are certainly wanting outlets like COH.
Off topic - can someone give me the web address for adfm?or adfvm?

OK points well made - it was just a thought that I had given my interest in both these companies. Your replies make good sense. Thanks for responses - will await developments with interest. AG

ramu - Yes, I have become a cynic since 2001. Thanks for the reply and glad to learn that my cynicism in this case was unfounded!
I hold 150,000 COH and holding for the 2 year tax break at least.

Very positive write up in Shares magazine today page 30 (imho), headed Coffeeheaven's Strong Polish Brew. Seymour Pierce pencilled in break even next year 2007 based on profitability already achieved in Poland. They estimate like for like sales growing at 6%-7% across the group which is twice the growth achieved in the UK.

Is it my imagination or does the spread seem pretty wide on COH? Maybe it's my frustration at the flat lining that is making me more observant, but it really doesn't make it a favourable buy with such a spread & no activity.
What has happened to this exciting little share?

ff - it seems to me the SP spiked overbought and has now settled back up with events. The spread has always been a killer on this one. I'm not buying more at this level, but am happy to hold what I have for a near future rise to 30p and beyond as half yearly results are announced.
On a 2-5 year view, if current early progress continues, there will be a step change when the business becomes profitable in all its arenas and/or when it starts to pay a dividend. It has to do something with postive cashflow.
I'm not sure of 2 in 5 years from here, but certainly hope for 1.18 in 4 years (I bought in mostly at equivalent of 11.8 in Feb '05 - making this a 10-fold return over 5 years forme) is possible - a nice steady return in a nicely spread geographical/economic region.

At 15:20 someone bought 1 share!
This of course is a signal to the market, I've seen it before but I don't know what it means, either BUY BUY or SELL SELL!, or WAIT there is news coming?

Someone has said it could be a journalist or someone that wants to attend the next AGM... Not my view but it makes sense.... Waiting to hear when this 3 million is going to be spent....

Adie, good point! I'd never thought of that. The transaction costs put down on his/her expenses?

Sp on the rise again at last, anyone know of any news or announcements in the offing and how COH is going to spend the 3m???

No news, various people have emailed RW but he says news isn't due until results in May... Rumours that EMPIK are increasing stake and there might be news in regard to them, it's a waiting game but things are looking very strong for COH this year... I would suggest that this latest rise is that MM's are short of stock, alot of shares held by 3 large investors so any sells being soaked straight up, also possible that a tip sheet has COH as a buy as the last couple of rises have been generated by tip sheets. IMHO...

A small piece in todays times about coffeeheaven, reads as follows:
'Coffeeheaven International the Eastern European coffee bar operator, added 1/2 p to 23 3/4 p on rumours that better than expected sales may prompt a trading update ahead of its 31st March financial year end.'
This was posted on iii, there was also a response from RW from email sent to him, basically he cannot comment but did state the forecasted figures would be better than forecasts given at AGM...
Looking good...
