Costa Coffee and Marks & Spencer food have announced they will be teaming up in a new collaboration from next year.

The brands announced Costa will be selling more than 30 M&S Food products at its UK stores and drive-through outlets from the spring.

The products will build on Costa’s current range and include sandwiches and salads, hot meal boxes and children’s food, the coffee chain said.

M&S Food will gain access to Costa’s more than 2,500 UK outlets in neighbourhoods, high streets and retail parks.

Costa Coffee and M&S partnership is ‘great for cutomers’

Neil Lake, Costa Coffee managing director for the UK and Ireland, said: “This collaboration with M&S Food will build on our existing food range and help us fulfil our ambition to become the first choice for customers buying food and coffee on the go.”

M&S Food managing director Stuart Machin said: “This collaboration gives many more customers the opportunity to enjoy our wide range of delicious sandwiches, salads and snacks in over 2,500 locations across the UK – not just on the high street but in neighbourhood locations and retail parks.

“Bringing together delicious, great quality M&S Food and the nation’s largest chain of coffee shops is great for customers as it extends our reach and supports our strategy of making M&S more relevant, more often for families.”
