A growing coffee shop business will open a store in Bury town centre next month.

The Coffee House will be welcoming customers at a premises in the Mill Gate Shopping Centre, taking over the former Gloria Jeans store.

It will be the firm's 15th store, with outlets already in Bolton, Sale and Warrington.

The Coffee House was founded in 2011 in Lymm, Warrington, by brothers, Chris and Stephen Shelmerdine, "who wanted to change the way people eat, drink and relax in our local communities".

“We are passionate about creating a great customer experience along with providing hand-roasted coffee, fresh food and homemade cakes.

“We are recruiting now and can't wait to introduce our dedicated team to their new community."

The food and confectionary products are made every day in their Warrington-based production facility before they are packaged and delivered daily to their stores.
