200 Degrees to open new coffee shop inMcArthurGlen Designer Outlet East Midlands
Speciality coffee roaster 200 Degrees will be opening a new coffee shop in the popular East Midlands Designer Outlet located at Junction 28 of the M1 in October.
The new 80-seater shop will bring 16 new jobs to the region and serve freshly roasted coffee sourced directly from the 200 Degrees roast house 30 minutes away in Nottingham.
As well as coffee, teas, smoothies and milkshakes, the new shop will serve the company’s renowned deli style sandwiches and an imaginative range of salads, soups, cake and pastries prepared daily on the premises, with plenty of vegan and gluten free options, all available to eat in or takeaway.
Located next to Antler and Beauty outlet, the new 1,865 sq. ft shop will feature the spacious relaxed, modern decor that is distinctive to 200 Degrees with a coffee bar, fireplace snug area and a large area of outdoor seating.
This is the company’s eleventh coffee shop to open since 2014 and coffee enthusiasts may also purchase several freshly roasted coffee blends, coffee gift boxes, brewing recipes, V60’s and AeroPress from the shop, with highly trained baristas on hand to advise on products and demonstrate coffee making methods.
Tom Vincent, co-founder and director at 200 Degrees, said: “This is the first out of town location for us in the UK and we chose the East Midlands Designer Outlet as it’s a prominent, retail destination. We also hope to satisfy our barista’s endless desire for Converse, the shop is a few doors away from us.
“As well as serving up fresh food every day, we look forward to offering our locally roasted coffee beans and a wide range of high calibre coffee equipment and gift ideas – especially as it’s nearly that time of year.
“For people who know us, there will be lots that’s familiar and we’re keen to offer a seat to everyone from flagging shoppers and fellow workers, to business people looking for a bit of space and some WiFi. Our takeaway service has been fine-tuned over the years and we’ll be open early for freshly made breakfasts.”
