-
Coca-Cola is buying Costa Coffee for $5.1 billion, a
huge move into the coffee market. -
Costa is based in the UK, but has stores worldwide —
here’s where they all are.
Coca-Cola is buying the biggest coffee company in Europe, Costa
Coffee, for $5.1 billion,
it announced on Friday, making its first move into the coffee
market.
Though most Costas are in Britain, part of the attraction will
inevitably have been the chain’s global reach, including 459
stores in China, almost 60 in India, and a solitary outlet in
Vietnam.
This map shows you the breadth of Costa’s reach, labelling each
country with how many stores are there.

Despite its global reach, Costa has a distinctive style that
repeats itself all over the world.
Business Insider published an in-depth store review based on a
visit in London earlier today.
But there are, inevitably, some differences, and Costas can be
seen next to some major landmarks.
There’s a Costa right opposite the famous Sagrada Familia in
Barcelona.

The news broke on Friday that one of Europe’s largest coffee
chains was selling for $5.1 billion – more than 16
times Costa’s expected full-year earnings in 2018,
Business Insider reported.
“Hot beverages is one of the few remaining segments of the
total beverage landscape where Coca-Cola does not have a global
brand,” Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey said in a statement,
Business Insider reported. “Costa gives us access to this
market through a strong coffee platform.”
The deal comes with the 3,912 worldwide stores.

Apart from in the United Kingdom, China has the most stores with
nearly 460.
