The premium coffee chain has bold ambitions to reach 1,000 stores globally next year, and sees expansion in Europe as key to achieving its goal 

Istanbul-based Espressolab is the third-largest branded coffee chain in Turkey and one of the fastest-growing.

Espressolab has a strong pipeline of new stores across Turkey, but it is prioritising international expansion as part of a strategy to reach 1,000 stores globally in 2027.
