East Midlands-based coffee roaster 200 Degrees is opening the doors to its new Derby coffee shop in Derbion shopping centre, this Saturday 19 November.
Located next to Boots on the ground floor of Derbion, the new coffee shop can seat more than 60 people and has brought 12 full-time and part-jobs to Derby.
Customers will recognise 200 Degrees’ iconic fireplace, antique armchairs and rustic “Hand Made in England” feature wall. The shop will also feature a snug ‘secret’ seating area as well as tables, chairs and benches.
The new Derby coffee shop is the roaster’s 18th across England and Wales and is the 7th in the East Midlands; with shops in Lincoln, Leicester, Nottingham and at McArthur Glen East Midlands Designer Outlet.
Freshly roasted coffee, from the 200 Degrees roast house in Nottingham, will be served in the new shop, as well as hot chocolate, smoothies and milkshakes.
200 Degrees will also be serving delicious food, such as deli-style sandwiches, baguettes, cakes and pastries – including vegan and gluten-free options – which are available to eat in or takeaway.
The opening follows a successful and busy year for 200 Degrees, which celebrated its 10-year anniversary last month (October) and recently launched its new recyclable packaging and introduced recyclable coffee pods.
Rob Darby, CEO at 200 Degrees, said: “We’re thrilled about the opening of our new shop in Derby. We’ve been wanting to set up shop here for some time, being East Midlands-based, and Derbion is the perfect spot.
“Looking back at where the 200 Degrees journey started, I feel very proud of what we’ve achieved together and feel grateful for our loyal customers.
“Each new shop opening feels like such a huge win, and I’m delighted with the team’s efforts and hard work. We look forward to serving our coffee to the Derby community!”
Coffee lovers can also purchase freshly roasted beans, new coffee pods, coffee machines and home brew equipment in store, to recreate the distinctive 200 Degrees taste at home.
