Costa Coffee named as ‘nation’s favourite coffee shop’ for 14th year in a row
It is the fourteenth consecutive year the coffee shop has enjoyed this accolade
One thing that will never go out of season is a cute and cosy coffee shop such as Costa, which is celebrating an amazing accomplishment this Valentine’s Day.
Costa Coffee has been named the ‘nation’s favourite coffee shop’ for the fourteenth year in a row by data insight company Allegra Group.
With over 3,800 stores in the UK, 10 of which are in Derby, the coffee shop is delighting people with its coffee options.
In an annual survey commissioned by Allegra World Coffee Portal, of more than 5,000 UK coffee shop consumers, over half (51.6%) named Costa Coffee as their favourite coffee chain.
It is great news for the coffee shop whose recent hot milkshake range transpired to be a ground-breaking move.
Commenting on the accolade, Allegra Group Founder and CEO, Jeffrey Young said: “Costa Coffee is a formidable brand with an incredibly strong presence on UK high streets.
“There’s no doubt that Costa is the favourite spot for UK consumers to grab a coffee – as demonstrated by its enduring appeal over the last 14 years.”
Innovation appears to be baked into Costa’s new offerings which includes Bubble drinks and a plant-based ready-to-drink oat latte.
Perhaps the coffee shop has cultivated a dedicated customer base from its app users of Treat Drop.
This is a loyalty programme that often rewards customers with a free drink, or discounted food deals.
Past deals we have seen on the app in Derby include 30% off food, free coffee, and a cake-with-coffee deal for £1.
Costa is working to improve their shop design and install new features such a touchscreen and table ordering at revamped stores, including Plymouth and Dorchester.
Nick Orrin, Managing Director of UK&I, Costa Coffee, said: "Not only does February 14 traditionally symbolise a day of love, but it also marks the fourteenth consecutive year that Costa Coffee has captured the nation’s hearts, being crowned the Nation’s Favourite Coffee Shop once again.
“This achievement is a testament not only to our valued consumers, but also to our talented baristas and the continued support of our partners, suppliers and franchisees.
“We look forward to another year of crafting new experiences for our customers.”
