Jobs created as Starbucks brews up at shopping centre

A Starbucks Drive Thru and café has opened at Merry Hill shopping centre, creating 20 jobs.

Starbucks Merry Hill team will be accepting school uniform donations directly in store throughout the month of September, which will then be distributed to several schools in the local area.

Jonathan Poole, centre manager at Merry Hill, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Starbucks Drive Thru concept at Merry Hill, and it’s great to see that supporting the local community will be a huge focus as well.

“Following an influx of more than 10 new store openings in 2021, the arrival of Starbucks latest Drive Thru underpins our performance and resilience this year, as we continue to invest in the centre and attract the very best brands for our visitors to enjoy.

“Looking ahead, we will be sharing even more exciting news with our visitors soon, and with the multimillion-pound investment transformation of the centre exterior due to be completed soon, the future continues to look bright for Merry Hill.”
