The 1,744 sq ft drive-thru has been pre-let to Starbucks franchisee The Magic Bean Company and replaces a dilapidated former officers’ mess building in Naas Lane which in more recent times was used as a dance studio.
Michael Plimmer, Senior Development Manager for Robert Hitchins Ltd, said: “We are coming to the end of the Kingsway development which has provided a new community with new homes, schools and a complete range of retail and leisure facilities on the doorstep of local people, supporting sustainable growth.
“In redeveloping the former officers’ mess we are bringing another international retailer to Kingsway in a more modern, fit-for-purpose, contemporary building in keeping with the rest of the scheme, providing further economic benefits and additional facilities to the people who live and work in Kingsway and Quedgeley.”
