COSTA coffee is currently fitting out a new purpose built store in St Martin's Quarter with plans to open during February.

The new store, which will be Worcester's fourth Costa, is in the main thoroughfare between the town centre and the heart of St Martin’s Quarter and will be a welcome stop off point for shoppers and travellers going to and from the city centre.

Colin Greensmith, Regional Development Manager for Costa, said: “Our coffee and service is already popular in Worcester and we are pleased to be part of the £75m St Martin’s Quarter development that has created an exciting new retail and leisure destination steeped in the City’s industrial history.”

Selwyn Rowley of Carillion Richardson said: “It is great news that the UK’s most popular coffee chain will be part of the St Martin’s Quarter offer and is joining other thriving retail brands in this choice of location.

“As the UKs favourite coffee shop with stores in 25 other countries internationally Costa is becoming a global success story and has an offer that will be popular with locals and the many national and international travellers who visit the city each year."
