A brand new Costa Coffee drive-through which has been built in Stoke-on-Trent is expected to be open before Christmas after the developer reached practical completion on the scheme.
Godwin Developments is progressing with work on the 1,800 sq ft drive-through which has been developed at the former Pizza Hut site, in Baths Road, Longton, alongside a new Greggs bakery.
Now work to fit out both of the new stores - which are located close to other big-name brands including Tesco and McDonald's - has started, with Costa expected to be open before Christmas.

"I'd like to express my appreciation to the on-site team from Intium Construction, who have worked quickly to complete the construction in just eight months despite industry-wide challenges. We look forward to seeing the units fully branded and open to the public soon."
