Coffee Chains & Takeaway

The most striking headline in coffee chain news came from Espressolab. The announcement that 70 percent of the brand's shares had been sold to a company based in the United Arab Emirates highlighted the interest of foreign investors in the sector.

Starbucks, meanwhile, remained at the top by continuing to be the most frequently tracked brand on price and branch comparison platforms. Kahve Dünyası and Caffè Nero maintained their leading positions in surveys on consumer preferences and price tracking; Caffè Nero in particular stood out in the ranking of the most preferred coffee brands in Turkey. Gloria Jean's stayed in the race with news of branch growth, while Caribou and Coffy remained competitive through their consistent presence on price lists. Tchibo kept its role as a reference brand, while Nevada Coffee drew attention with its rise in the survey of the most liked coffee brands and remains among the names familiar to MOC's domestic user base.

In conclusion, the coffee chain sector presents a dynamic picture, shaped both by foreign capital movements and by competition between domestic and foreign brands. The Espressolab sale strengthens signs of consolidation in the industry, while price and preference comparisons keep competition alive on the consumer side.
