Starbucks has plans to open a new drive-thru near Stockport town centre. The coffee giant has submitted proposals for a new outlet which would replace Pizza Hut, at Garfield Court, off Great Portwood Street.
The application seeks permission to install a new drive-thru lane at the eatery - situated opposite the Peel Centre - which currently offers dine-in and takeaway options. Documents lodged with the council confirm the intended ‘removal of the Pizza Hut restaurant’, as opposed to a drive-thru running alongside it.
Some demolition will be needed to allow for the construction of the new lane, although part of the building will be retained to provide a canopy area over the drive-thru facility. The proposal would create 20 full time-equivalent jobs.
