The store closed its old unit in May with developers working on a new store that can accomodate 128 customers and features an outdoor seating area.

Lindy Watson, Deputy Centre Manager at Fort Kinnaird, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have Starbucks open at Fort Kinnaird.

“The new pod is looking absolutely fantastic and we know it will be well-used and loved by our customers, as well as our staff.”

The new cafe has provided 18 jobs.

The former Starbucks Fort Kinnaird Manager Stefanie Mappourido has returned to run the new unit. She said: “It is fantastic to finally be able to unveil our new store here at Fort Kinnaird.
