Lagardere Travel Retail expands Costa Coffee in Poland with new openings and upgrades

Lagardere Travel Retail has announced ambitious plans for Costa Coffee in Poland, aiming to open six new cafes and renovate 24 existing locations in 2025. The expansion strategy will focus on prime locations, including shopping centers and key travel hubs such as airports and railway stations. The first new outlet of the year has already been launched at Wola Park shopping mall in Warsaw.

Maciej Gajkowski, Managing Director of Foodservice at Lagardere Travel Retail in Poland, emphasized the company’s commitment to enhancing the Costa Coffee experience in the country. “Since acquiring Costa Coffee in Poland, we have implemented numerous changes to drive the brand in a new direction. Our focus is on expanding the network by selecting prime locations and modernizing existing cafes to align with contemporary trends and customer preferences. High-traffic areas such as shopping malls and travel hubs are key to our growth strategy, enabling us to offer a seamless coffee experience to a wide customer base,” said Gajkowski.

The 24 cafes scheduled for renovation will be transformed in line with Costa Coffee’s updated visual identity and design standards. Patrons will experience the refreshed interiors at popular locations such as Świętokrzyska Street in Warsaw, the Main Market Square in Krakow, and Wrocław Railway Station.

In 2024, Costa Coffee expanded its footprint in Poland with the addition of three new locations—at Modlin Airport, Galeria Katowicka, and the Gdańsk Railway Station. Simultaneously, ten existing cafes underwent significant refurbishments, including those at Złote Tarasy in Warsaw, Warszawa Centralna Railway Station, Manufaktura shopping center in Łódź, and the Silesia City Center in Katowice.

Lagardere Travel Retail operates across three core sectors—Travel Essentials, Duty-Free & Fashion, and Foodservice. The company manages a network of over 5,000 stores in airports, railway stations, and other licensed spaces across 42 countries and regions, bringing world-class retail experiences to travelers worldwide.

The planned expansion and upgrades in 2025 highlight Lagardere Travel Retail’s ongoing investment in Poland’s thriving coffee culture and its commitment to providing top-tier service and ambiance to Costa Coffee patrons.
