Costa Coffee has re-opened its Business Park shop and Drive-thru off Monxton Road, Andover after a six-day refurbishment.

The new relaxed seating areas, with updated furniture and furnishings, have been greeted with approval from staff and customers.  

18-year-old Phillipe la Rocca has been working for Costa Coffee for 18 months and said: “It feels as though I’m working in a fresher environment."

His colleague, Milly Goddard, agreed: “It seems very different, it’s a much brighter.”

Manager of the store, Katia Rosa said: “Everyone loves it and customers have been very impressed. It’s a great refresh and just in time for Christmas.”

New Christmas-themed drinks, snacks and merchandise will be on sale from next Thursday.

Costa’s Drive-in Area Manager, Donna Mulholland told us: “We’re thrilled to have re-opened the doors of our newly renovated Andover Business Park Costa Coffee store.

"The interior of the store has been brightened and refreshed with updated seating and furniture, creating a welcoming atmosphere for customers to relax and enjoy their favourite coffee with one of our freshly baked pastries. We look forward to serving both our existing and new customers.”
