In July 2025, UK-based fast-food franchise operator QFM Group announced the divestiture of 21 Costa Coffee outlets to SimTrava.
The financial specifics of the deal were not disclosed by the companies. This step marks the end of a 17-year relationship between QFM Group and the Costa Coffee brand.
The acquisition positions SimTrava among the largest Costa Coffee franchisees in the UK, as reported by World Coffee Portal.
In September 2024, Costa expanded its UK presence with a new store in Leeds.
The venue at Middleton’s St George’s retail park features a modern design with indoor and outdoor seating arrangements and has created eight jobs.
