Costa Coffee reopens total of 19 Scottish branches for drive-thru and takeaway

Costa Coffee has reopened a total of 19 branches in Scotland for drive-thru and takeaway during lockdown.

The chain were forced to shut down all 27,000 UK stores on March 23 in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.

Earlier this month, Costa reopened a handful of stores including Edinburgh Sharpdale and Glasgow's Braehead where drivers pictured queuing to get their coffee fix.

Now Costa will reopen in locations such as Aberdeen, Stirling, Perth and Dundee.

A spokesperson said: "Over the past four weeks, in line with Government guidelines, we are pleased to have successfully re-opened over 70 Costa Coffee stores.

"To keep our store teams and customers safe, we’ve made a lot of changes to how we serve our coffee, introducing social distancing and enhancing our hygiene procedures."

At takeaway outlets, customers are allowed to enter the store to order and collect a coffee.

People cannot sit in and payments must be cashless and contactless.

A select number of Scottish stores will also be available for delivery via Uber Eats.

There is no minimum delivery spend but each order has a delivery fee of £3.50.

Costa's menu will be limited with only drinks from its "core" range available.

To help keep staff safe, workers will be given including masks and will follow strict social distancing guidelines.

Staff will also be expected to wash their hands and clean work surfaces every 30 minutes.
