Starbucks recruiting staff for new Harrogate drive-through
Starbucks has advertised for staff for a planned drive-through on Wetherby Road in Harrogate.
The multi-national coffee shop, which already has an outlet on Cambridge Street in the town, looks set to open a new site at the former Leon drive-thru.
North Yorkshire Council approved plans to change the signage around the Wetherby Road site to Starbucks branding in August.
Since then, the company has advertised for a supervisor, assistant manager and barista on hospitality recruitment site caterer.com for a new store in the HG2 area.
The Stray Ferret asked Starbucks if it had an opening date planned for the site and how many staff it would employ.

The move comes as Leon, which opened at the site last June, closed its doors on April 2 with the loss of around 20 jobs.
It was operated by Blackburn-based EG Group, which also runs Starbucks franchises as well as brands including KFC and Greggs.
Currently, the building has been empty for eight months and has been stripped of its Leon branding and signage.
