Starbucks has announced plans to reopen around 150 of its UK branches this week.
It has confirmed it will be opening around 15% of its UK stores which will mainly be focused on those branches with drive-thrus as well as a "handful of takeaway-only stores" reports MirrorOnline.
While exact locations are yet to be revealed this could be good news for Liverpool which has Starbucks drive-thrus based around the city including on East Lancashire Road.
Starbucks closed all of its UK sites in March after the Government-mandated lockdown was introduced.
The company said it has been "learning, testing and refining our operational standards every day" behind closed doors.
It said the reopening plan - which will start with stores broadly spread across the UK - will focus on ensuring the health and wellbeing of its employees and customers.
New safety measures at UK sites will include regular hand-washing for at least 20 seconds, two metre social distancing, screens at payment areas and the use of contactless payment only.
The reopening menu will include Starbucks' core range of drinks and a limited food range, it said.
The news comes as the number of Prets open across the UK rises to more than 100, while Costa now has more than 30 branches open for deliveries and drive-thrus.
Greggs has also said it will be opening a few branches for delivery only as a trial.
