As part of the process of reopening stores, Costa wants to keep supporting “everyone who’s keeping the country moving”.

Costa said: “Over the past week we have delivered another hundred thousand Ready-to-Drink Costa Coffee cans to key workers, providing a well deserved coffee break to those working in hospitals, police and fire stations and NHS call centres, to name a few.”
