A new coffee shop is due to open on Lord Street in Southport town centre.
Coffee King will open at 365 Lord Street in the beautiful unit between Occulo Lounge and Parkinson’s Books, most recently occupied by 92 Degrees Coffee, and previously by Monsoon.
The firm has submitted a planning application for the scheme to Sefton Council; the building was previously a café and will remain as a café.
No additional floor space will be created in this development.
The shopfront will remain as existing with the only inclusion being brand signage.
The customer café area will benefit from decoration of walls up to the marble picture rail at around three metres. Above this will be left untouched and remain white.
The ornate ceiling to the high level café area will remain untouched. The rear ceilings will be decorated white.
It heralds even more investment for Lord Street, which has seen:
- the opening of the new Sirocco restaurant at The Grand
- the new Wine & Words by Watson opening soon
- the refurbishment of The Carlton
- plans granted for 137 hotel rooms and 11 residential apartments at The Garrick, the UK’s first theatre spa hotel
- plans granted for a 30 bed Wetherspoon Hotel
- The opening of The Junction at Wayfarers Arcade
- The opening of the Turkish Nazar restaurant
- LOL Bingo lounge opening soon
Last month, plans were announced for the £10 million transformation of the Town Hall gardens in Southport, led by the families of Bebe, Elsie and Alice.
