A popular milkshake bar is set to open a store in Canterbury.

Shakeaway’s Rochester branch will close on Sunday (January 28) ahead of relocating to the city on a date to be determined.

It is not yet known where in Canterbury it will be.

In a statement posted on Facebook, a representative of the Rochester milkshake bar said: “We would like to sincerely thank all of our customers for their patronage and loyalty.

“We will update the Shakeaway Facebook page when the new Canterbury store opens.”

The chain was established in 1999 and has since developed a devoted following.

It has stores open across the country, as well as in the Philippines, Mexico, USA, Bahrain and Malaysia.
