A popular coffee spot in Silverburn is set to be replaced by a rival chain this summer.

The Starbucks inside Cineworld Silverburn will be replaced by a Costa.

The change is only one of 26 happening across the Britain, with Edinburgh and Falkirk joining Glasgow as Scotland's three spots experiencing the shift.

Andrew Miller, Express and Corporate Sales Director UK&I at Costa Coffee, said: "We’re delighted to be working with Cineworld to bring Costa Coffee to more cinema-goers across the UK.

"Whether you’re heading in for the latest movie release or catching up with friends, we’re excited to make those moments even more enjoyable with great coffee in an enhanced cinema environment."

The initial agreement will last ten years, with no set date for when Silverburn will undergo its remodelling.

The store will take on existing team members to ensure a smooth transition and maintain the service customers expect.

Tim Sparrow, Director of Retail at Cineworld, said: "This partnership marks an exciting step forward in enhancing Cineworld's customer experience.

"The Costa Coffee partnership is re-energising our coffee spaces and strengthening the role they play in the cinema experience.

"Together, we’re focused on quality, consistency and reach, creating warm and welcoming environments that enhance the visit while keeping cinema at the heart of everything we do."
