AN AWARD-WINNING coffee shop is set to open in Cwmbran this summer - creating 10 new jobs.
Coffee#1, which has 113 outlets across the UK, is to open a 2,250 sq ft café in late August - and the fit-out is already underway.
The café will be located at 30 Gwent Square in the Cwmbran Centre.
Bruce Newman, managing director of Coffee#1 said: “Cwmbran is a great fit for Coffee#1, given strong brand awareness in the area, similarity of demographic profile to many successful existing sites and high seven-day per week footfall,” he said.
“The corner unit we will trade from also affords us plenty of natural light and the opportunity for both internal and external covers.”
Coffee#1 has agreed a five-year lease with national commercial property and investment company LCP, part of M Core.
Founded in 2001 Coffee#1 is inspired by the prospect of giving customers a more complete experience and aims to serve great coffee made by talented baristas, in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Boobaloo Boutique, a family fashion boutique, is set to open at the Cwmbran Centre later this month.
Alex Williams, of LCP, said: “We’ve worked hard to transform Cwmbran Centre, attracting both independent traders and well-known high street brands.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Coffee#1 to the centre, which adds another strong brand to our food and beverage offer. We’re looking forward to it opening this summer.”
