Costa to reopen Braehead branch as part of UK-wide rollout

A Glasgow branch of Costa Coffee has reopened as part of a UK rollout.

The drive-thru Costa Braehead will be the only one in the city open to customers as the lockdown continues.

The stores which have reopened will operate with customers queueing two metres apart and only a few allowed in each branch at a time.

The company has brought in hand sanitiser stations and Perspex screens to protect customers. Staff will also wear masks and other personal protective equipment.

Customers will be able to purchase their items with contactless payment methods only and won't be able to provide reusable cups.

As previously reported by Glasgow Live , the drive-thru was reopened on May 3 and saw a customers queuing for 'hours' to be served.

The high street chain has 79 stores now open across the UK after the pandemic closed all 2,700 of its locations in March.

Jill McDonald, chief executive of Costa, said: "We have received some great feedback from our store team members and customers have responded well to our new ways of working. This has given us the confidence to re-open some more stores."
