A coffee shop is full of beans as it gets set for a £50,000 refurbishment – which could create two more jobs.
Costa at the ODEON cinema in Eagles Meadow shopping centre in Wrexham is going to be modernising its décor, replacing its furniture and expanding its capacity as a “thank you” to its customers.
ODEON Wrexham assistant manager Kenny Kempster said: “Costa has changed the design and the layout of how their stores look, with a new, more modern design. There will be more soft seating areas, with the inclusion of sofas, so people can enjoy a relaxing experience.
“We’re also extending the store to increase the amount of seating overall, taking over some of the cinema foyer area which will accommodate a further 30-40 seats in total, meaning that we can cater for more people – especially over the peak periods when Eagles Meadow is at its busiest.
“Costa performs very well for us as a business but also our guests enjoy the Costa experience and it’s great that we can make further improvements to their environment.”
Costa assistant manager Joanne Jubb added: “There is going to be new art work, and we’re going to get a big plant feature as well as the appointment of two new staff members.
“It’s very exciting, not for just ourselves but for our guests as well, and they’re already asking us about it. It’s a big vote of confidence in Costa, ODEON and in Wrexham.”
Eagles Meadow Manager Kevin Critchley added: “I am delighted that Costa is doing so well and I’m looking forward to enjoying a latte or two in the new-look coffee shop.”
