Costa Coffee launches first store in Kochi

Costa Coffee, one of the world’s largest coffee chains, has launched its first store in Kochi at Lulu Mall. Kochi is the company’ third city of presence after Bangalore and Chennai. The store will serve over 25 varieties of hot and cold coffee and flavoured drinks along with its sumptuous range of snacks and food items from both the international range as well as a range customized to suit Indian palates and preferences. UK-based Costa Coffee was the first international coffee chain to set up business in India in September 2005 partnering with Devyani International Limited (DIL). Emergence of such MNC outlet will be an added advantage which signage players engaging in in-shop displays and other related activities can tap for fresh projects.
