Another Costa Rican company looks beyond its borders
Café Britt, Costa Rica’s premier brand of coffee, is looking to expand its empire. With fifty stores in seven countries the company now wants to install stores in the island of Antigua’s airport, in Peru, Chile and a roasting plant in Cancún Mexico. The company already boasts over $60 million in annual sales. In addition to coffee they sell local handicrafts, their own brand of chocolates, books and more in airports and hotels.
This is another example of a Costa Rican company expanding beyond its borders. Dos Pinos, the country’s largest producer of daily products and Florida Ice which makes several types of beer, are already selling their products in neighboring countries and abroad. Costa Rica’s famous Imperial beer may be purchased in many areas of the U.S. The author downed a couple while visiting New York City a couple of years ago.
All of this points to the county’s continued growth which could not have been achieved without political stability.
