Customers flock to Starbucks after official Mansfield opening

Starbucks has opened in Mansfield Four Seasons Shopping Centre, located in a unit on West Gate.

The unit, previously occupied by Thomas Cook travel agents, can be found next door to family jewellers F Hinds and close to Mansfield Library at the entrance to the shopping centre.

An official opening saw staff, town centre partners and customers gathered to celebrate the launch.

Mansfield Mayor Andy Abrahams and Starbucks district manager Anne Coleman toasted the opening with a signature Starbucks drink.

Anne said: “It’s been a fantastic first day and we have been welcomed with open arms.

“The customers have been amazing. The team absolutely smashed it and I’m so very proud of the all.

“We look forward to welcoming more customers tomorrow and in the coming weeks.”

In a Facebook post, www.facebook.com/fourseasonsshopping – Mansfield Four Seasons Shopping Centre welcomed the franchise to the centre.

A spokesperson said: “Starbucks is now officially open.

“Thanks also to Mayor Andy for coming and helping Anne and the team cut the ribbon.”

Customers received a range of goodies in a gift bag and joined in the ‘ribbon-cutting’ celebrations, welcoming the team to town.

Ellen Zarebski, who was present at the opening, said: “Got my goodie bag. It looks nice inside.

“Good luck from F Hinds neighbours.”
