PLANS to install signage at the site of an upcoming Starbucks coffee shop at a leisure and retail complex have been drawn up.

In June the coffehouse chain had confirmed it was to open a premises at the West Point site, off Linkway West.

The units is to be situated in the corner of the complex towards Liverpool Road.

The Star had reported after proposals had received permission to add two drive-thru units, intended for a Greggs bakery and Dunkin’ Donuts, at the West Point site, off Linkway West.

The proposals are the final part of ‘Phase B’ of the development at Linkway West, which the existing Costa Coffee forms part of.

The completed phases A and C at the site have seen an Aldi supermarket, Home Bargains store, Superbowl tenpin bowling alley, and German Doner Kebab restaurant already launch at the site over the past several years, with Planet Doughnut recently closing its premises at the location.
