Travellers will welcome the warm aroma of coffee as they enter the main airport terminal at Bristol Airport where Caffe Nero has just opened. The European coffee house is located near the entrance to security in the terminal and is already buzzing with customers.
The popular coffee chain is now in 33 airport stores and won the tender process to move into Bristol Airport. With an investment of over £500,000, the store is 2000sq ft with over 80 seats. It is said to be a bespoke design by the company’s founder, Gerry Ford and is designed to deliver a feeling of warmth and cosiness inside a busy airport.
Generating 15 new jobs, the store has already recorded a week of strong sales with management saying it was already “trading ahead of expectations” and had received positive feedback for its look and feel. It will offer another option for outbound travellers, along with the existing Starbucks, Soho Coffee and other eateries.
