After many months of planning, the new Costa drive-through in St George’s Way, Newport, opened Wednesday.
Store manager, Rhiannon, gave guests and staff family members a tour and demonstrations during the soft opening.
The store will be open daily from 6am to 10pm, and currently employs 14 staff, all of whom are Islanders.
Rhiannon is focused on creating a friendly, welcoming environment, where Islanders can relax and enjoy quality products.
There is seating for 56 customers inside, with additional outdoor seating for sunny days.
Customers can also take advantage of deals through the Costa app. The Newport branch is one of the first Costa stores to bake its own pastries, offering even fresher treats, alongside a new selection of cheesecakes.
