// M&S partners with Costa Coffee to launch food offering in its cafes
// The collaboration will launch on March 3 and will feature 33 of M&S Food classics
Marks & Spencer has revealed a new partnership with Costa Coffee to launch its food products across the coffee chain’s UK stores.
The collaboration will launch on March 3, featuring 33 of M&S Food classics, ranging from porridge, sandwiches and salads, to Yumnuts and Percy Pigs.
The products will be available from over 2500 Costa Coffee stores and Click-and-Collect, and builds on Costa Coffee’s own food offering.
The M&S Food collaboration is part of Costa Coffee’s ambition to become the first choice for customers buying food and coffee on the go.
Significant investments are being made in food that is in addition to the M&S Food range, including product innovation in own range and refreshed store environments.
This investment also coincides with the relaunch of the Costa Club customer loyalty programme last year, aimed at giving members even more rewards.
“Bringing together delicious, great quality M&S Food and the nation’s largest chain of coffee shops is great for customers as it extends our reach and supports our strategy of making M&S more relevant, more often for families,” M&S Food managing director and chief operating officer, Stuart Machin said.
The M&S Food range will also be available as part of Costa Coffee’s ongoing partnership with the number one anti-food waste app, Too Good To Go, which allows people to buy and collect unsold food from going to waste.
