  1. I’m guessing that should say “If 80 to 85% of shops ARE participating”? Unless it’s actually only 1 in 5 that are participating.

  2. Thanks Neil, that’s amended now.

  3. STATEMENT FROM CENTRA: The vast majority of Centra stores participated in our Blue Monday 1 cent coffee promotion yesterday, and we are delighted so many of our customers availed of the offer. We sold over 55,000 cups of coffee at 1c, when we normally sell in the region of 27,000. This is an increase of over 100%.

    We are sorry if some customers were not able to avail of the offer, as not all stores participated. This was carried directly on all advertising relating to the offer, where possible, or alternatively referred customer to the information in-store or on our website. Having said that, thousands of customers, had a coffee on us and the
    overwhelming amount of responses we received have been really positive, as you can see from the sample of tweets on our Twitter account: https://twitter.com/CentraIRL

  4. TBH, even at 1c, I wouldn’t be lured into Centra for a coffee. Mine does a yuck muck that tastes bitter at best.
