Works on Costa Coffee in Old George Mall commenced on Thursday, August 15, with a sign taped to the front door reassuring shoppers that the shop will re-open a week later, on Thursday, August 22.

A Costa Coffee spokesperson said: “Our Old George Mall Salisbury Costa Coffee store temporarily closed on August 15 to undergo an exciting refresh. The store re-opens to the local community on Thursday (August 22) with new, modern furniture and a bright interior.”

This short closure also coincides with Café Nero’s renovations, two shops temporarily out of business.

The nearest Costa Coffee branches are located on 14 Butcher Row, and in Dolphin Retail Park on Southampton Road.
