Coffee Planet, one of the GCC’s most established integrated coffee companies, has announced a series of major regional partnerships with IKEA operated by Al-Futtaim, Emarat and Union Co-op, further cementing its position as a leading player within the Middle East’s evolving retail and self-service beverage sector.
The agreements mark a key milestone in the company’s growth strategy, expanding its footprint across high-volume retail, convenience and food service environments throughout the UAE and wider GCC.
“Whether in retail, convenience or food service environments, customers today expect high-quality coffee experiences wherever they are, and that is exactly where we are positioning the brand,” stated Allan Jones, Founder and Chairman, Coffee Planet.
Partnership
As part of its partnership with IKEA operated by Al-Futtaim, Coffee Planet is now present across seven locations in the UAE, as well as stores in Oman and Qatar.
The partnership is also set to expand further in the coming months, with capsules and instant coffee products due to launch across IKEA retail shelves, alongside a planned rollout into IKEA Egypt.
The brand has also expanded its presence across 80 Emarat petrol station locations in the UAE.
The rollout includes self-service espresso-based coffees, teas and matcha, supported by Coffee Planet’s integrated model spanning machines, consumables and supply operations.
Founded in the UAE in 2005, Coffee Planet has grown into one of the region’s most established integrated coffee businesses, operating across roasting, distribution, retail and self-service beverage solutions, and serving customers across the GCC and international markets, a press statement concluded.
