Stainforth Construction is to begin work to build a new £1.1 million Costa Coffee drive-thru coffee shop in West Yorkshire.

The 1,800 sq ft project will be developed off Junction 32 of the M62 next to the Wakefield College campus and an Asda supermarket at Wykeland Group's G@Glasshoughton development site. Completion is scheduled for January 2019.

Caroline Midgley, Acquisition Manager, Costa Coffee, said: "We're excited to have started construction work on this brand new drive thru Costa Coffee store, bringing significant investment to the local area.


"With the opening planned for early next year, we look forward to progressing the development and beginning recruitment for 18-20 new jobs in the coming months."

Lee Barnes, a Partner of Stainforth Construction, said: "We're delighted to have been awarded this project, to build a Costa Coffee drive thru in Glasshoughton.

"We have already completed Costa Coffee drive thrus in Sheffield, Reading, Wakefield and Bolton so this continues a successful relationship. It's always a pleasure to work with Wykeland Group and Costa Coffee and we look forward to handing over another successful project."

Wykeland Project Manager Arun Mistry said: "The Costa Coffee drive thru continues Glasshoughton's successful evolution as a major centre for commercial, retail and leisure development."
