Benson Signs is proud to mark 10 years of supporting Costa Coffee’s Drive Thru journey, having played a key role in supplying signage for this now-familiar format across the UK.
The very first Costa Coffee Drive Thru opened its doors on 27th May 2011 at Castle Marina Retail Park in Nottingham. We were honoured to be involved from day one, providing all building and external signage components to bring the Drive Thru concept to life.

Each component is designed to guide customers smoothly through the Drive Thru experience, delivering clear messaging, consistent branding, and great visibility across every site.
A Milestone Worth Celebrating
Over the past 10 years, we’ve proudly delivered signage for over 240 Costa Drive Thru sites, including locations on the UK motorway network. The success of the Drive Thru format speaks for itself. It offers customers high-quality coffee and food on the go and has helped Costa become the Nation’s favourite coffee shop.
We’re honoured to have played a part in this growth and look forward to continuing our work as the Drive Thru network expands even further.
