Starbucks has opened the doors to its stylish new drive-thru on Teesside. 

The coffee chain launched its latest branch on Teesside Industrial Estate, in Thornaby, on Friday, November 29, following months of works. 

Located on Fleck Way - opposite the Anson Farm pub and beside Greggs, Subway, and Domino's - the new Starbucks is the latest drive-thru to open in the region, following the launch of sites in Faverdale, Darlington, and at Preston Farm, in Stockton, earlier this year.

The modern new Thornaby drive-thru has been decorated with bright pastel colours of green and pink with large windows on either side flooding the venue with light.

Coffee lovers can expect the chain's classic selections from flat whites and mochas to cappuccinos - plus festive favourites including the gingerbread latte, eggnog latte, and caramel waffle latte.

The drive-thru will be open between 6.30am and 9pm every weekday, with opening times on Saturday being from 7am until 8pm and Sunday from 8am until 7pm.

As previously reported, Starbucks announced in June that it would be opening a new site on the Thornaby industrial estate. 

It came after the firm - which first launched in the UK in 1998 - announced ambitious plans to open 100 new stores across the country.

Tim Witty, development director at UK Land Estates, previously said: “We are delighted to welcome Starbucks to Teesside Estate.
