A NEW Starbucks Drive Thru store opened today (Jan 13) in Parc Pemberton Retail Park, Llanelli. Operated by Starbucks licensee Magic Bean, the store will create 35 new jobs for the local area.
To celebrate the opening, the store will hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony at 10am. Local politicians in attendance included Councillors Dorothy Jones, Dr. Gary Jones, Rob James, Deryk Cundy, and Fozia Akhtar, as well as Michelle Donoghue, Member of Llanelli Rural Council, and Paolo Piana, regional organiser for Race Equality Wales and Chair of Llanelli Community Partnership. There was also a coffee tasting event, so customers can experience and learn about the wide range of coffees Starbucks offers in-store.
The store is also hosting a Friends and Family event on Sunday 12 January from 10am until 4pm. All proceeds on this day will be donated to the store’s charity partner, Tŷ Hafan, a local children’s hospice that provides palliative care for children with life-limiting conditions and support for their families. Representatives from the charity will also attend the ribbon cutting ceremony to fundraise and the Llanelli store team looks forward to continuing to support this important cause. Starbucks values building strong and lasting relationships within store communities through partnerships with local charities, community groups and residents.
Leon Esfahani, Managing Director of The Magic Bean Company, said: “We are so excited to open this Starbucks Drive Thru in Llanelli and look forward to welcoming Llanelli residents and visitors to our new store. Our store team is proud to support Tŷ Hafan in its important mission of supporting children and families in the local area suffering from illness.”
Customers are invited to visit the conveniently located store to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee and relax with the comfortable seating and free wi-fi.
