A popular coffee spot at Glasgow Airport has reopened after nearly two months.

The Starbucks in the departure lounge closed to customers on February 13, as it prepared to undergo an “exciting refurbishment”.

Now, the unit has reopened after a ‘major’ makeover, with passengers once again able to enjoy their favourite drinks.

The revitalised store marks the latest step in the travel hub’s ongoing upgrade of its food and beverage offering.

It is also said to reflect its commitment to providing travellers with high-quality, familiar, and convenient choices before they fly.

Craig Norton, head of retail development at Glasgow Airport, said: “We’re excited to see Starbucks return, better than ever.

“It’s a brand recognised and loved by travellers around the world, and its reopening is another important step in strengthening our food and beverage line‑up.

“We know our passengers have missed having Starbucks available during the refurbishment, so we’re pleased to reopen the doors.”

The refurbished Starbucks will offer its full range of popular beverages along with a variety of pastries, snacks, and sandwiches.

The reopening forms part of SSP’s wider investment programme across AGS Airports to modernise, upgrade, and expand its food and beverage experience for millions of people each year.

Richard Attwood, director of business development at SSP UK and Ireland, added: “Our bigger, brighter airside Starbucks marks the latest development to our offer at Glasgow Airport, adding to our recently refurbished Burger King and selection of retail and food and beverage outlets.

“We’re committed to being the best part of the journey for passengers, and we’re sure that this Starbucks will deliver on that promise.”
