Coffee giant Starbucks has opened the doors of its latest outlet in the county this morning.

The outlet in Sevenoaks High Street will mark its arrival by offering 50 free reusable cups to random customers every day for the first week.

The global chain, which has shops across the county, says 11 jobs have been created by the opening.

Southern Co-op owned Cobra Coffee will operate the outlet as a Starbucks licensee.

Manager of the store, Michael Lusha, who previously worked at the Orpington store, said: "This will be Southern Co-op's 35th Starbucks store and the whole team is looking forward to safely welcoming new faces from the local community over the next few weeks.

"We still have open vacancies at the store and are looking for a local cause to support, so we'd encourage anyone interested to drop by and speak to us."

The Sussex-based Cobra Coffee already operates 35 Starbuck stores across the south of the country. It became part of the Southern Co-op in October 2018.

The new store will be open from 7am until 6pm, Monday to Saturday, and 8am until 5pm on Sunday.
