Scoffs Group Expands into the Channel Islands with Acquisition of Four Costa Coffee Stores

Scoffs Group UK, the largest Costa Coffee franchise partner in the UK, is proud to announce the successful acquisition of four Costa Coffee stores in the Channel Islands from former operator Sandpiper CI. This strategic move reflects Scoffs Group’s continued commitment to growth and delivering outstanding coffee experiences to customers across the UK and beyond.

First step into the Channel Islands

The acquisition includes four established Costa Coffee stores across Jersey and Guernsey, marking Scoffs Group’s first expansion into the Channel Islands region. The stores will now operate under Scoffs Group’s leadership, joining a portfolio that exceeds 110 Costa Coffee sites nationwide.

Investment in upgrades and innovation

“We are excited to welcome the talented teams within the Channel Islands into the Scoffs family,” said Antony Tagliamonti, CEO of Scoffs Group.
“As part of this acquisition, we are investing over £300,000 to upgrade the stores to Costa Coffee’s latest design and technology standards. This includes enhanced digital capabilities and refreshed interiors, ensuring our customers enjoy the very best experience.

Strengthening long-term growth

The Channel Islands acquisition aligns perfectly with our growth strategy and long-term vision of delivering first-class coffee experiences while expanding our footprint. We look forward to building on the strong foundations Sandpiper CI has established in the region.”

This milestone not only strengthens Scoffs Group’s position as Costa Coffee’s leading franchise operator but also reinforces its mission to invest in people, communities, and store environments—creating welcoming, innovative spaces that reflect Costa Coffee’s brand values.

Looking ahead

With future development opportunities under consideration, Scoffs Group plans to continue exploring potential sites in the Channel Islands as part of its wider expansion strategy.
