COSTA Coffee is opening the doors of its next drive-through franchise in Bolton today.

The store is open for business at Logistics North employment hub in Over Hulton.

Employing 16 people, it is based at the entrance of the site and is the second drive-through to open in the town after it welcomed the first in Lower Bridgeman Street.

Opening nearby the branch of Costa - on August 21 - will be Greene King’s new Pine Tree Farm pub.

Major development is continuing at the Over Hulton business site, which is the largest of its kind in the North West.

In January, Whistl announced its decision to take a ten-year lease at Logistics North, with more than 300 staff starting work from its new postal depot from May.

In June, Olympic cycling gold medallist Jason Kenny also opened Aldi’s new store.

Aldi already employs 550 staff at Logistics North within its enormous regional distribution centre, which opened in April 2016.
