Channels

We are everywhere Coffee Fans expect to see us (and sometimes in places they don’t!)

Right where they want us

Wherever coffee is wanted and sold, Costa Coffee has an unmissable presence. This includes the following key channels:

  • Travel; airports, petrol forecourts, railway and bus stations

  • Leisure facilities; cinemas and theme parks

  • Contract catering; workplaces, healthcare settings, education establishments, sports and leisure events and defence facilities

  • Hotels

  • Grocery main estate and convenience outlets

Travel and Leisure

This is a hugely important sector for our business and one where our multiple coffee solutions have enabled us to have a strong presence within all the sub channels that constitute ‘Travel and Leisure’.

We can meet the varied nature of the ‘On the Go’ occasion through our innovative Costa Coffee Costa Express solution, our flexible coffee shop formats and our rapidly growing RTD product portfolio has opened up even more opportunity within Fuel Convenience.
