Gala’s Signature Coffee Experience
A Part of Gala’s Vision
Coffee Junction is more than just a coffee option — it’s Gala Retail’s own in-store coffee concept, at the heart of its commitment to fresh, community-focused retailing. With nearly 200 Gala stores across Ireland, Gala combines local ownership with the strength of a national brand.
Gala isn’t just about groceries. Its in-store innovation extends through multiple branded concepts — not only Coffee Junction, but also Baker’s Corner (fresh bakery), New Street Deli (street-food inspired), Galato (a dessert station), and more. (Checkout)
Coffee That Connects
At Gala, coffee is a key pillar of the convenience experience. According to Gala leadership, getting the coffee right is central not just to sales, but to building repeat footfall. (Checkout)
The Coffee Junction Blend
- Crafted for Everyday Enjoyment — A balanced, well-rounded roast tailored to the needs of on-the-go customers.
- Smooth & Approachable — Low in acidity, with subtle chocolate notes, and a touch of nuttiness.
- Decadent Finish — The flavour is rich and indulgent, delivering a smooth crema that invites you back for another cup.
This blend isn’t just pleasant; it’s designed to consistently hit the high notes that keep customers choosing Coffee Junction day after day.
Why Customers Love It — and Why Gala Promotes It
- Consistency & Trust: Because Gala carefully designed Coffee Junction as a signature concept, customers know what to expect: quality, reliability, and familiarity.
- Repeat Business: Coffee Junction isn’t just a convenience product — it’s a key category to drive footfall. As Gala itself notes, offering a strong coffee brand can be the difference between losing a customer and getting them to return. (Checkout)

Whether your customers need a quick Americano on their commute, a creamy cappuccino during a break, or a flat white to treat themselves — Coffee Junction delivers. It’s built for speed and quality, with a concept that makes sense for convenience shopping.
Positioned for Growth
Although Coffee Junction started in select Gala stores, it’s part of Gala’s broader innovation roadmap. Gala continuously develops its in-store concepts to stay modern, fresh, and community-centred.
