What to expect in our stores

We have invested millions of pounds in enhanced safety measures for our customers and team members, and many of these measures remain in place.

  • Our teams continue to follow enhanced hygiene and safety processes and you will see Perspex counter screens, Drive-Thru lane shelves, and hand sanitiser stations in our stores.
  • Customers and team members in England are not legally required to wear a face covering when in our stores. However, we know that for many people face coverings continue to provide comfort when they are in public places. We therefore ask for your continued support and respect for those that choose to wear a face covering or would like some additional space when in stores.
  • In Scotland face coverings remain mandatory for customers and team members, unless exempt, and we are legally required to request contact details of customers using our seating areas in support of NHS contact tracing services.
  • In Wales face coverings remain mandatory for customers and team members, unless exempt, and we are legally required to request contact details of customers using our seating areas in support of NHS contact tracing. We also ask that customers following social distancing rules of 2-meters and do not meet in a Costa store with more than 5 other people.

How we’re continuing to keep our store teams and customers safe

  • We’re sanitising surfaces and tables frequently and washing our hands every 30 minutes as a minimum.
  • We have hand sanitiser stations placed near every store entrance for customers to use.
  • We have designated pick-up points for delivery and Click & Collect collections and are regularly sanitising the pick-up point. Deliveries can be made via Uber EatsDeliveroo and Just Eat.
  • In our Drive-Thru lanes, we continue to use our extendable shelves to pass orders to customers with minimal contact.
