The Company was incorporated on 20 June 2019. In 2019, ‘the Company purchased part of « the business and assets of POD from its administrators, with the intention of converting the sites into Coco di Mama stores. The Company occupied the sites under a LTO until such time as.a new lease was agreed/the site converted, whilst leveraging the POD brand to operate a delivery service from two delivery hubs based in Coco di Mama sites.

As at the date of appointment, seven sites had been converted, four sites had been exited, and the Joint Administrators have offered surrenders in relation to the remaining sites.
