Jobs and coffee shops could be affected if Costa cuts costs after a difficult period. Coca-Cola brought in AlixPartners to review operations and Alvarez & Marsal to advise on finances after ending plans to sell the chain when a buyer wasn't found. Costa runs about 2,700 UK shops and roughly 1,300 overseas outlets, employing 16,000 people.
