A new Starbucks® Drive Thru store will open in Bognor’s SaltBox Business Park, located off Roman Way, on Wednesday 8 September. Operated by Sussex founded Starbucks licensee, Cobra Coffee – part of Southern Co-op – the store will create 12 new jobs in the local area.

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

Customers are invited to enjoy their favourite Starbucks® beverage or try Starbucks® new autumn menu, including the original Starbucks® Pumpkin Spice Latte, as well as new food items, such as the No’Meatball Marinara Wrap and the Brie Butternut & Chutney Focaccia.

Mirko Tomasello, Bognor Regis Store Manager, said: “We are excited to open our new store in Bognor Regis and become a part of the local community. The team are closely following the latest guidance from both the government and health authorities to keep everyone safe.”

The store has a contemporary design, offering customers the opportunity to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee and relax with comfortable seating.

Those looking to recharge while on the go can use the convenient Drive Thru lane. Delivery will be fully available to all customers via Uber Eats.

Starbucks® is committed to 100% ethically sourced coffee in partnership with Conservation International. The cornerstone of our ethical sourcing approach to buying coffee is Coffee and Farmer Equity (C.A.F.E.) Practices.

Starbucks® offers a 25p discount to all customers who bring a reusable cup when purchasing a drink.

The new store is conveniently located at 2 SaltBox Road, Bognor Regis, PO22 9FP and open from 6:30am until 7:00pm, Monday to Saturday and 8:00am to 6:00pm, Sunday.
