Costa Coffee has confirmed a major partnership with NEXT, agreeing a new deal that will see the coffee chain continue operating inside the retailer's stores for another decade.
The agreement will secure the future of the two brands' partnership until January 2036, paving the way for further expansion after more than 15 years of working together.
Costa Coffee currently operates more than 140 stores within NEXT locations across the UK, having started with just one concession in 2011.
The latest announcement signals a long-term commitment from both businesses, with further new openings and investment planned across the estate.
Seven new Costa Coffee stores opened inside NEXT locations during 2026, including a major 3,000 sq ft outlet at NEXT's flagship destination at Bluewater shopping centre.
The Bluewater store is the largest Costa Coffee location within the NEXT estate and among the first to feature the coffee chain's latest store design.
Costa has also refreshed 26 existing stores within NEXT locations this year as part of continued investment in the partnership.
Tom Falk, Head of Property at Costa Coffee, said: "NEXT has been a valued partner for many years and we're delighted to extend our relationship through to 2036.
"This milestone reflects the strength of our partnership and creates an exciting platform for future growth.
