We are delighted to announce that we have acquired ten additional Costa Coffee stores, expanding our business in the Cornwall region and welcoming the stores and team members into our Scoffs family. These ten stores were previously owned and operated by Costa Coffee and we are pleased to have worked closely with them to ensure a smooth transition for our team members and customers.
Welcoming new team members
We’re also pleased that the same team members will remain working in the stores and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such talented and passionate baristas. To help welcome our new colleagues into our family, the Scoffs leadership team have been spending time visiting the store teams and handing out 'welcome' gifts, such as branded Scoffs cakes, bundles of sweets, and a bottle of bubbly or two.
Strengthening our Cornwall footprint
In addition to the nine stores we purchased in February and our new Costa Van Cornwall, we now operate twenty stores in the region. Across the UK, we own and operate a grand total of 111 Costa Coffee stores, cementing our position as Costa Coffee’s largest UK franchise partner.
Looking to the future
Our growth in Cornwall is not limited to our existing stores, however. We have a strong pipeline of new stores coming to the region, helping us deliver more great coffee and food to the people of Cornwall and creating further jobs across the county.
We’re honoured to have been able to purchase more Costa Coffee stores, which sees us continue to expand our presence in Cornwall and demonstrates our commitment to the region. But Scoffs’ commitment doesn’t stop there—we will be supporting the career growth of our new team members as part of our journey to becoming a world-class franchisee. We look forward to welcoming customers to our stores and engaging the wider community in Cornwall.
