Nottingham’s independent coffee roasters 200 Degrees have confirmed that their new shop in West Bridgford will open to the public on Saturday 22 July at 9am.
The growing company have been eyeing sites in West Bridgford for some time and jumped at the chance when the perfect property popped up on Central Avenue following the relocation of Oliver Bonas. Rumoured to have fought off several larger chains (in an arm wrestle) to nab the deal, this is 200 Degrees’ fourth shop in Nottingham, and 20th overall.
Managing Director Stephen Fern said: “When growing our footprint in our home city, it really was a no-brainer to look for opportunities in West Bridgford. It’s close to our roastery on Meadow Lane, it’s home to our co-founders, and we know we already have lots of supporters in the area – mainly because they’ve been suggesting we open there for quite some time.”
As is now traditional for 200 Degrees shop openings, the first 200 customers through the door will be treated to a free drink. The first 50 people in the queue will also receive exclusive goody bags, with artwork designed by Nottingham artist (and 200 Degrees barista) Jess Williams.
Two of those bags will contain either a Gold or Silver ticket, and the holders will take home the dream prize for any coffee lover – a Sage Barista Express machine, or an Opal Pod machine. Other prizes include a free three-month coffee subscription, and a free barista course.
