Stowmarket Town Mayor Paul Ekpenyong officially unveiled the brand-new Costa Coffee Drive-Thru in Stowmarket at its grand opening on 11th December 2019.
A first for Scoffs Group
The opening is part of an expansion and major overhaul by Scoffs Group — Costa’s largest franchise partner. The drive-thru is the first of its kind for Scoffs Group and marks the company’s 91st store nationwide, including a second site in Stowmarket (Meadow Centre, Wilkes Way, Stowmarket, IP14 1DE).
Supporting the local community
As part of a conscious commitment to the local community, Scoffs Group have recruited an 11-strong team to operate the drive-thru, all of whom are local to Stowmarket, and are in the process of expanding the team. Although this is the company’s first drive-thru, they have already established a number of procedures to ensure a cohesive and responsible relationship with the community, including regular litter picking to maintain the surrounding area.
Investment in modern design
The bright and modern store has had an investment of over £400,000 and reflects the most up-to-date Costa specifications, with clean and contemporary décor and lighting throughout.
Serving the community every day
The new store is open Monday to Friday 6.30am to 8.30pm, Saturday 6.30am to 7.30pm and Sunday 7.30am to 6pm. It serves sandwiches, paninis and baked goods, as well as a wide range of hot and cold drinks — including the nation’s favourite coffee, Costa's signature Mocha Italia blend.
