A new Starbucks® store has opened today at 7:00am on Wednesday 7 July in Sevenoaks, creating 11 new jobs for the local community. Part of a regional co-operative family, the store will be operated by Starbucks® licensee, Cobra Coffee, and located at 112 High Street.

To celebrate the opening, the store will be offering complimentary reusable cups to 50 lucky customers every day for the first week.

The new Store Manager, Michael Lusha, who has been successfully promoted to the role after completing on-the-job training at a sister store in Orpington,said: “This will be Southern Co-op’s 35^th Starbucks® store and the whole team is looking forward to safely welcoming new faces from the local community over the next few weeks.

“We still have open vacancies at the store and are looking for a local cause to support, so we’d encourage anyone interested to drop by and speak to us.”

The store will be open for indoor dining and takeaway and is closely following the latest guidance from both the government and health authorities to keep everyone safe.

Customers are invited to enjoy their favourite Starbucks® beverage or try Starbucks summer menu, including the new Pink Coconut Starbucks Refresha® Drink and Strawberry Açaí Starbucks Refresha® Drink.

The store has a contemporary design, offering customers the opportunity to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee and relax with the comfortable seating and free wi-fi. Delivery via Uber Eats will be available later this month.

The new store will be open from 7:00am until 6:00pm, Monday to Saturday, and 8:00am until 5:00pm on Sunday.

Starbucks® coffee is 99% ethically sourced and accredited by Conservation International under the C.A.F.E. Practices programme. Starbucks® offers a 25p discount to all customers who bring a reusable cup when purchasing a drink.
