A new Starbucks is set to open its doors in a Suffolk town for the first time this week.
The coffee giant will welcome customers to its new store when it opens in Stowmarket on Thursday.
The new store will be open on land south of Gun Cotton Way and Thorney Way.
A spokesman for Starbucks said: "The store has created 15 jobs and the first 50 customers will get a free goodie bag on opening day from 8am."
The proposals for a new Starbucks were approved by Mid Suffolk District Council in November 2022.
Last month a number of jobs were being advertised for the new stores.
The planning statement for the project, prepared by Walsingham Planning, on behalf of EG Group, said: "The proposed development will thus bring a vacant plot of land into productive, economic use, generate new jobs and ensure the completion of the mixed-use development south of Gun Cotton Way."
