Coffee chain Starbucks has been granted permission to keep its Govan drive-thru open until 5am.
Glasgow’s licensing committee handed a three-year late hours catering licence to the firm at a meeting yesterday. David Hossack, representing Starbucks, said the Helen Street cafe is ideally located for drivers on the M8 as well as the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and the nearby police station. The licence allows trading between 11pm and 5am.
“Since the premises opened, it has fared very well and there has been a significant demand for the facilities,” he said. “It’s been popular with locals, with workers, including from the police station, those coming from the airport and the nearby hospital, and also critically for travellers who seek to break their journey.
