Starbucks has finally revealed when it will open its new drive-through on Wetherby Road in Harrogate.
The company will welcome its first customers at 8am on Tuesday, May 21.
The business will be open from 6am to 9pm daily.
Store manager Chris Gilbert told the Stray Ferret the Starbucks had brought 18 jobs to the local area through the new initiative, and the number was expected to increase.
Mr Gilbert said:
Starbucks is based on the site previously occupied by Mediterranean fast-food chain Leon, which closed in April last year after just 10 months.
It was operated by Blackburn-based EG Group, which also runs Starbucks franchises as well as brands including KFC and Greggs.
The site was previously a Leon restaurant.
