The Coffee Room closes its doors

The Coffee Room was best known for selling Starbucks products

The Coffee Room in Northlink Retail Park, just off the Inner Relief Road and Coes Road, closed its doors in the run up to Christmas.

The Grace Fellowship Church, which ran the outlet, has also vacated the premises with no updates on if they plan to setup elsewhere.

The Coffee Room had become popular for selling Starbucks products although their unique selling point was damaged somewhat when a Starbucks franchise opened in the Marshes Shopping Centre a number of months back.

Their Facebook page said they would be closing Christmas Eve, adding: “the management and staff would like to thank you for your support and valued custom over the last three years.”

Starbucks now recruiting for new Dundalk store

Starbucks have started to recruit for their new store in Dundalk.

Talk of the Town revealed exclusively last month that the coffee chain was set to open its doors in the Marshes Shopping Centre, with the former Heaven boutique believed to be its likely destination.

Now an advert has been posted in the window of the Starbucks store in the Quays Shopping Centre in Newry, encouraging people to apply for the store manager, shift supervisors and barista positions.

The poster indicates that Starbucks will open its doors either later this month or early next month.

All applications can be sent to the Newry store.

To date Starbucks has only been available to buy locally in The Coffee Room at the Northlink Retail Park on the Coes Road and at an outlet in Dundalk IT.

 

New coffee shop for Dundalk?

Starbucks could be on the way to Dundalk.

Sources have informed Talk of the Town that the popular coffee chain are looking at the possibility at opening a store in the Marshes Shopping Centre.

It is understood that the coffee company may look to set up in the existing Heaven boutique, opposite Penney’s, which is closing shortly.

Were the coffee house to open it would put them in direct competition with The Bagel Bar Coffee House upstairs and Costa Coffee in the centre of the mall.

To date Starbucks has only been available to buy locally in The Coffee Room at the Northlink Retail Park on the Coes Road and at an outlet in Dundalk IT.

A potential opening would follow hot on the heels of another coffee house’s closure with The Black Forest Café in Park Street recently closing its doors. A second outlet of Costa Coffee did recently open in the new Tesco Extra though.
