From Coventry’s historic market square to Birmingham’s modern café districts, outdoor seating is a vital part of the customer experience. With ever-changing weather and fierce competition for attention on busy high streets, more cafés across the region are investing in West Midlands café awnings—combining practical shelter with powerful branding to boost visibility and revenue.

A Local Café Owner’s Perspective

We recently spoke with a café owner in the West Midlands who upgraded to a bespoke awning for their outdoor area:

“Since fitting our new branded awning, footfall has noticeably increased—even on grey days. Customers love the covered seating, and many remark on how our logo stands out among neighbouring businesses.”

This insight highlights how a single investment can serve both functional and marketing goals.
