UK's Pub Supplier Barbox Bought By Amphire Solutions
Redwood City-based software-as-a-service startup Amphire Solutions is buying Barbox, a joint venture between Coors Brewers and Scottish & Newcastle. Amphire did not disclose financial terms of the deal.
U.K.-based Barbox is an online ordering service for the beer, wines and spirits trade while Amphire has focused on food service and hospitality.
Barbox says it sees over £8M in orders placed online every week with about 15K pubs placing orders. The combined business says it will have an annual order book worth in excess of £1B.
It sounds like an impressive business, even if the margins are not tremendous.
