Tesco link sparks chance for Costa

TESCO IRELAND looks set to follow its British-based parent company’s lead and open coffee shop outlets inside its supermarkets.

Tesco in Britain has entered into a partnership with Costa, the coffee shop chain, which will see it open Costa-branded coffee shops inside its British supermarkets.

The prospects of a similar roll-out in its Irish stores are being talked up as Costa also has plans to expand into Ireland.
