MERRY Hill has welcomed another Starbucks café to the shopping mall.

The centre’s second Starbucks opened its doors today (Wednesday September 27) on the lower mall near Lush and Suit Direct, creating 18 new jobs and with Starbucks goodies offered up to the first 50 customers served.

Mark Goule, district manager at Starbucks, said: “We are excited to open another new café in Merry Hill, just in time for visitors to try out our autumn menu with our ever-popular pumpkin flavoured favourites and a host of sweet treats.”

Merry Hill centre manager Jonathan Poole added: “We are thrilled to welcome a new and the second Starbucks inside Merry Hill. We know this will be a firm favourite among our shoppers, especially over the autumn and winter months.

“The opening adds to our vibrant mix of leisure experiences, restaurants, cafes, and everything Eat Central has to offer too, and comes shortly after the recent openings of Wagamama and Hollywood Bowl.”
