Starbucks has been signed up as the first arrival at the new Beverley Gateway development aiming to regenerate a derelict site just outside Beverley.

The company behind the venture, said the project will "breathe new life" into the site of a former wallpaper and fabric pattern books manufacturer which was destroyed by fire in 2009.

A petrol filling station will also be built on our site on the A1079 at Beverley, Lovel Developments will be announcing further arrivals in the coming weeks.

It will be a high quality development which brings a derelict site back into use and is still in keeping with the wider rural area. Work will be starting in the spring to put in the infrastructure including an access road, an estate road, drainage and lighting. The scheme has the potential to create around 30 jobs. The Starbucks building will be the first to be constructed. The sort of business we are looking at have the potential to create a significant number of jobs. The original estimate of 30 jobs was based on a filling station, coffee shop and some business units. The final figure will depend on the nature of the businesses we bring in and their staffing needs.

The Starbucks outlet will be a drive-through operated by 23.5 Degrees, the chain's first UK franchised business partner, they operate 100 Starbucks stores nationwide with ambitious plans for growth. Andrew Pickett, the property director for 23.5 Degrees said "We are excited about being the first business at Beverley Gateway and our use of modular design and build will enable us to be up and running soon after completion of the site works."
