New Starbucks coffee house to open at Wakefield's City Fields
A new Starbucks is to open at the new City Fields development.
The new build is already under construction on Doncaster Road with advertising signs in place.
A spokeswoman for Starbucks said: "We look forward to opening our doors to customers on Doncaster Road, Wakefield in the near future and will be in touch once we have more specific plans to share.”
It comes after news that up to 500 jobs could be created by a new retail and leisure development, to be built at the site.
And Morrisons has been confirmed as one of the first big businesses to have a presence at the site, which will serve people living in the 2,500 new homes on the City Fields estate.
Besides the supermarket, the complex will also feature 24-hour gym, a coffee shop with a drive-thru, a GP surgery and a mixture of shops and small businesses.
The pub company behind the Toby Carvery and Harvester chains has also been signed up to the development.
