The Financial Times reported that Coca-Cola has abandoned plans to sell its Costa Coffee chain after investment firms' offers failed to meet its valuation expectations. This concludes months-long negotiations. Coca-Cola had previously considered selling Costa to focus on its core business. However, the company decided to retain control of the coffee chain. This decision may be linked to Costa remaining a key asset for Coca-Cola, particularly in the European market.
