Brian McMahon, Head of Operations for Costa Ireland, said: “We’re delighted to have opened our new Costa Coffee in Eyre Square Centre in Galway with the creation of 12 new jobs. It’s a really great location, and we think we’ve found another perfect location for our customers to relax and enjoy our barista handcrafted coffee and tempting selection of food.”

Costa Coffee was founded by Italian brothers Sergio and Bruno Costa in London in 1971. From this small family beginning, Costa Coffee is now known all over the world for the quality and taste of their trademark Mocha Italia blend.
For the past 42 years, Costa have been slow-roasting their own coffee beans. Just 1% of the world’s production of coffee is good enough for Costa to choose from. Costa’s attention to detail even extends to the training of their coffee experts, or “Baristas” as they are known, who make and serve the coffee for you.
Costa Coffee, through their franchise partnership with MBCC Foods Ireland Ltd, opened their first store in Ireland in 2005 in Douglas, Cork. Costa stores in Ireland employ 1100 people in total.
