Shropshire's latest Starbucks opens on former pitch and putt site
The site will raise extra income for Shropshire Council
Shropshire’s newest coffee shop has opened on a former pitch and putt.
The Starbucks at Hazeldine Park, off Otley Road at Meole Brace in Shrewsbury started trading on Thursday (September 3).
The site is also home to a number of other units, including a KFC, set to open on September 14, and and five other retail spaces.
There are also 100 shared car parking spaces across the development.
The construction of the site has been completed by Morris Property on behalf of Shropshire Council.
The authority said the development will boost the local economy and raise additional income.
Roger Evans, Shropshire Council’s cabinet member for finance, welcomed the completion of the project.
He said: “We commissioned this development to serve the needs of the growing community on the south side of Shrewsbury.
“And I’m pleased that Morris Property has completed their work on site and handed it back to the council.
“With one unit now open, one set to open soon, and more to follow we’re confident that the site will be popular and well used and help to benefit the local economy - as well as raising additional income for Shropshire Council.”
