Andy Harrison, chief executive of parent company Whitbread PLC, was at Beijing International Airport to officially open the 100th store, alongside John Derkach (MD of Costa) and Luo Zhiwei (GM of The Beijing Hualian Group, Costa Coffee’s joint venture partner in Northern China).
In April 2011, Whitbread announced new five-year milestones, to double the size of the Costa network to 3,500 stores and double global system sales to £1.3bn. Expansion in China will be a key factor in achieving these targets.
