Partners
Costa Coffee has an ever-growing list of UK retail partners. From local Co-Op and Shell stores to the larger Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda & Morrisons. Costa Express self-serve bars are a welcome treat for customers after shopping or rushing in for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
Costa is not currently looking for individuals to open standalone Costa Coffee stores. They are instead focusing their efforts on developing partnerships with other leading brands, organisations and institutions, such as hotels, cinemas, universities and service stations, who would incorporate Costa into their current business.
Franchise opportunities for Costa are available to those interested in taking the Costa franchise opportunity internationally.
