A local coffee shop has hit out at the opening of a third Costa Coffee in its town. The owners of Yas Bean, an independent coffee spot in Macclesfield, also made the case for people to support small, local businesses rather than coffee chains on a post shared to social media.
The shop on Buxton Road was founded by Mika Johnson and his husband Dan Hardman and officially opened its doors last August. Prior to opening their shop, the pair ran the coffee concept out of a gazebo and a horsebox trailer, building a loyal following along the way.
The owners hit out at the new Costa Coffee opening on Instagram with a post titled #Costaliving. In the caption, they wrote: "Macclesfield has a new @costacoffee opening tomorrow. Our *third* Costa.
