Costa Coffee has opened a new drive-thru in Bishop Auckland on October 10, 2025, featuring digital menus, indoor and outdoor seating, and a dedicated lane for quick service. The location, part of a broader UK expansion, created 15 local jobs and offers coffee, food, and pastries with extended hours. It follows the launch of a Costa Café inside Asda’s Barnes Hill Superstore in Birmingham on October 16, the first of a planned retail partnership. Both developments reflect Costa’s ongoing efforts to expand accessibility through new store formats and collaborations.
