Costa Coffee, the Nation’s Favourite Coffee Shop, is proud to announce the opening of its first drive-thru store in Basildon, situated in Festival Leisure Park, bringing a fast, convenient coffee experience to the local community.
The Basildon drive-thru store has been designed to offer a seamless experience for all types of coffee rituals. Indoor and outdoor seating is available for those meeting friends, taking a quiet moment during the day, or having an afternoon treat. For those on-the-go, the drive-thru lane offers a fast and convenient way to pick up your favourite handcrafted coffee, made with Costa Coffee’s Mocha Italia Signature taste.
What’s more, the new store offers Costa Coffee’s freshly baked range of pastries, which are ideal for a morning pick me up or an afternoon snack.
The new store has created 15 new local jobs, helping to support the town’s economy whilst the team of talented baristas ensure that every coffee is crafted with care.
“The opening of our Basildon Drive-thru store is a really exciting moment for Costa Coffee,” said David Gabsi, Area Manager at Costa Coffee. “We’re thrilled to bring our first Drive Thru to the area, continue growing in Basildon, and give the local community even more ways to enjoy their favourite coffee, faster and easier than ever before.”
Perfectly positioned in the heart of Basildon, just a couple of miles from Costa Coffee’s iconic Roastery – one of the biggest roasteries in Europe that produces 45,000 tons of coffee a year – the new store celebrates the town’s long-standing connection to the brand. From roastery to drive-thru, Basildon remains at the heart of the Nation’s Favourite Coffee Shop story.
Richard Holden, Member of Parliament for Basildon and Billericay, said: “I’m delighted to welcome the opening of Costa Coffee’s first drive-thru in Basildon. As the home of Costa’s roastery, which I had a look around recently, our town has long played a central role in the brand’s success, and it’s fantastic to see that investment continuing locally.
“The creation of 15 new jobs and a new, convenient offering for residents and visitors alike is great news for our community and for Basildon’s economy. I’ll certainly be stopping by in-between my busy engagements across Basildon and Billericay!”
The Costa Coffee drive thru store in Festival Leisure Park, Basildon, is currently open from 6am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and 8am to 8pm on Sunday’s.
