PRESS RELEASE: Scoffs Group grows its portfolio of Costa Coffee stores to 101 with the purchase of corporate stores in the Cornwall region
We are delighted to announce the news that we have acquired nine additional Costa Coffee stores, welcoming them into our Scoffs family. The nine stores were previously owned and operated by Costa (as “equity” stores). The nine stores, all located in Cornwall, mean we now own and operate a grand total of 101 Costa Coffee stores, cementing our position as Costa’s largest UK franchisee.
All existing equity Costa team members have been welcomed into Scoffs and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such talented and passionate baristas.
We’re honoured to have been able to purchase existing corporate Costa stores. The acquisition sees us expand our geographical reach into Cornwall for the first time and we’re confident that our knowledge of the local communities served by our store teams will help us deliver the exceptional Costa Coffee experience that our customers know and love. We have imminent plans to grow the Costa brand in the Cornwall area and we look forward to welcoming you into the stores soon!
