A new Costa Coffee has opened in Congleton, creating 12 new jobs for the town.

The new Costa Coffee store, in Barn Road near to the Tesco superstore, is designed "to offer convenience and comfort" to local coffee lovers.

With a fresh interior, it features modern furniture, comfortable seating areas, and a relaxing atmosphere, with seating both indoors and outdoors.

And for those on the go, the drive-thru lane offers a quick and easy way to enjoy Costa Coffee's range of handcrafted coffees and food on the go.

The store will also serve a range of freshly baked pastries - baked first thing and throughout the day.

"We're thrilled to have opened our first drive-thru store in Congleton. This store offers a perfect blend of comfort and convenience, and we look forward to becoming part of the daily routines of our customers here in Congleton," said Helen Bailey, area manager at Costa Coffee.

"What's more, we have hired 12 new team members, all trained and eager to serve the local community at their new store."

The store will be open from 6 am until 10 pm Monday to Friday and 6 am until 9 pm on Saturdays and 7 am until 9 pm on Sundays.
