It has been revealed that coffee retailer Costa Coffee will be testing a new concept store that not only sells coffee but alcohol as well.
The new store will be situated in Wandsworth, south west London on Old York Road and will provide a selection of alcoholic drinks in the evening to complement its range of food and drink.
The company will also be trialling later opening times, with the stores closing at 9pm Monday to Saturday and 7pm on a Sunday. The alcoholic drinks will be available from 4pm.
Jason Cotta, Costa UK managing director, commented: “As core coffee options become well established favourites, we believe coffee lovers are ready for the next generation of beverages.”
“Alongside our Mocha Italia espresso-based drinks, we are proud to launch new beans, brews and coffee experiences to our customers.”
