Jan 14 (Reuters) – Coca-Cola has abandoned plans ‍to sell its Costa Coffee chain after ‌offers from ‌private equity firms came in below expectations, the Financial ​Times reported on ‍Wednesday.

The ​U.S. beverage ​giant ended talks ‍with remaining bidders in December, halting a months-long ‍auction process, the report said, ‍citing two ‍people ​familiar with ​the ⁠matter.

Reuters could ‌not immediately verify the report.
