Cumbernauld's new drive-thru Costa Coffee has created 25 jobs in the town

Cumbernauld's latest drive-thru coffee shop will open for business next Tuesday, February 1.

Coffeepots Limited used funding from HSBC UK to purchase the site on Central Way and also to build the premises.

The funding package was also used to purchase furnishings and the latest coffee machines for the interior of the new 60-seater facility.

Business partners Pat Dunese and Colin Wilson, who co-own Coffeepots, are now eyeing up further expansion and plan to open a second drive-through Costa Coffee in Kirkintilloch in May.

Coffeepots operates 15 Costa Coffees in Scotland and recently won the Costa UK franchisees of the year award for the great customer service that their stores deliver.

Pat Dunese said: “2021 was a challenging year for the hospitality industry, but this funding from HSBC UK has given us the confidence and security to continue with our ambitious expansion plans.

"The market for drive-thru premises is strong as these outlets have provided a safe way for customers to enjoy coffee during lockdowns and they respond to the public’s growing desire for on-the-go beverages.

"We’re excited to bring our award-winning service to Cumbernauld and other locations around Scotland as we work to grow the business.”

Grant Bett, relationship director at HSBC UK, said: “We’re pleased to have supported our Coffeepots maintain growth into 2022 and bring this new offering to Cumbernauld.

"Pat and Colin are ambitious and experienced franchise owners and we look forward to seeing them continue on their growth path and bring more of their successful Costa Coffee stores to communities across Scotland.”
