The campaign features four individuals from the retail and hospitality sectors: Pindy Kaur of Monk Bretton Ocean Fish Bar, Kaual Patel of Torridon Convenience Store, Gino Verecchia of Glasgow’s University Café, and Simon Dafforn-Jones of The Ferry Boat Inn. The portraits were created by renowned artists, including Nicky Philipps and Nick Bashall, who have previously painted members of the British Royal Family. The exhibition is scheduled to be displayed at London’s Saatchi Gallery from late October through early November. As part of the initiative, each featured business owner will receive their portrait and nominate a local charity to receive a donation. The campaign follows research commissioned by Coca-Cola suggesting that a vast majority of Britons view independent businesses as essential to their communities. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-27: Coca-Cola launches Local Royalty portrait series for independent retailers Coca-Cola’s ‘Local Royalty’ campaign features portraits of four UK independent business owners painted by royal artists, with works to be displayed at London’s Saatchi Gallery. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/coca-cola-launches-local-royalty-portrait-series-for-independent-retailers ### 2026-10-27: Small business owners honored with portraits by royal artists Four UK small business owners are being honored in the ‘Local Royalty’ exhibition at London’s Saatchi Gallery, featuring portraits painted by acclaimed artists who have previously depicted members of the Royal데 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/small-business-owners-honored-with-portraits-by-royal-artists --- Cite as: Coca-Cola Local Royalty portrait campaign.
