As of January 2024, Costa Coffee had the highest amount of units among the leading coffee shop chains in the United Kingdom, with 2,677 outlets. Greggs and Starbucks ranked second and third, respectively, with 2,474 and 1,266 outlets.
Starbucks is the only non-British company in the ranking. Although the company’s popularity failed to match the success of Costa Coffee in 2022, the number of Starbucks stores in the UK was higher than in any other European country. The overall number of Starbucks stores in the UK has grown gradually since 2012, with the company from Seattle seeing increases in both licensed stores and company-operated stores since 2020.
