LONDON – Costa Coffee, the second largest coffee shop chain in the world, added to their accolades by winning ‘Best Branded Coffee Shop Chain in Europe’ and ‘Best Branded Coffee Shop Chain in Southern Europe’ at the Allegra European Coffee Awards 2013.
Held in Paris last night as part of the Allegra European Coffee Symposium, the awards recognised companies and individuals who have made the most outstanding contributions within the European coffee shop and food-to-go markets.
The success didn’t stop there as Costa Coffee also won ‘Best Branded Coffee Shop Chain in the UK and Ireland’, adding to past consecutive wins in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
Andy Marshall, Managing Director of Costa Coffee International Franchise commented “These awards are a testament to our passion for coffee, our people and our continuous work to bring an unbeatable coffee experience to customers across the world.
