Costa Coffee’s new store next to the recently opened Co-op store in Crosby is now open.

It is the seventh Costa store in the island and the sixth operated by franchisee Fancy A Coffee Limited, creating eight new jobs.

Franchise partner Anne Dorling said: ’We’re excited to be opening a further community Costa in the Island.

’We are proud to be supporting the Isle of Man Creameries who supply all our stores with Manx milk and cream.

’It has also been great to work with an array of on-island tradespeople to complete the store and it is the first time all of the woodwork for the internal fit out has been supplied by Braddan firm, TWD Joinery.

’Already looking ahead, with the store set across two floors, it will provide a perfect vista to enjoy a coffee and watch the bikes go by throughout TT 2022.’

l The store is open seven days a week from 7.3oam to 5pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 5pm on Sundays.
