Costa Coffee in Helston is set to temporarily close from this evening (23rd) to support the rules on social distancing.

However, efforts will be made to keep Costa stores open in hospitals where free takeaway coffee will be available for the next two weeks to the NHS workers.

Jill McDonald, CEO at Costa Coffee, said:

"I want to take this opportunity to thank our store teams, who during a lot of uncertainty over the past few weeks have continued to provide a warm and welcoming environment and great service to our loyal customers.

"To our customers, thank you for your ongoing support – we know these are difficult and unsettling times and through our community work, we hope to be able to continue serving you, and your friends and families in some way.

"I will continue to be in touch over the coming weeks and look forward to welcoming you back into our stores soon. Thank you and take care."
