Telford welcomes new Starbucks drive-thru today
A new Starbucks drive-thru has opened in Telford Bridge Retail Park today, creating 13 jobs.
To celebrate the opening, there was a ribbon cutting hosted by the mayor of Telford and Wrekin, Councillor Amrik Jhawar, at 11am. Complimentary Starbucks gift bags were given to the first 100 customers to enter the store and coffee tasting sessions are scheduled every hour until 4pm.
The store, which will be operated by Starbucks licensee Queensway Coffee Houses, will support BEAM as its local charity partner. BEAM provides children, young people aged under 25, their parents, and professionals with advice, signposting, and support for any concerns relating to mental and emotional wellbeing.
Shakeel Jivraj, head of operations at Queensway Coffee Houses, said: “We are so excited to open our new store in Telford and the team are closely following [coronavirus] guidance from both Government and health authorities to keep everyone safe in-store. We can’t wait to start welcoming new faces over the next few weeks.”
