A new drive-thru only Starbucks store has opened in Newport Pagnell on Tuesday (March 12).

Daniel Wyllie, Commercial Brand Manager, Welcome Break, said: "We are excited to open our new store in Newport Pagnell and look forward to welcoming the local community. To celebrate, we hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony.”
