They are currently available at several Euro Garages sites. Starbucks on the Go are Starbucks' coffee machine brand, much like Costa Express. Owing to their popularity more have since been built, with purpose-built glass restaurants springing out on spare land owned by Welcome Break's car parks. At the time they were the only drive thrus on the motorway network, and one of few examples of Starbucks drive thrus in the UK. In August 2012, Welcome Break opened two drive thru Starbucks units, utilising former buildings at Fleet and Membury. This worked for the smaller buildings, but Starbucks had reservations about sharing the larger buildings with other food brands which ultimately led to them not being included in those sites. In January 2017, Euro Garages purchased Little Chef with the intention of replacing most of them with Starbucks. Many former Little Chefs had so far become Costas, but with Euro Garages on board they would now become Starbucks instead. As Euro Garages became more successful, Starbucks spread further, especially on the A-roads. Starbucks then became a Euro Garages partner.
Each service area gained several Starbucks, usually operating from small stands.Īround the same time, all of Extra's newest services opened with a Starbucks. This was partly because using Starbucks allowed Welcome Break to access all their product development without any additional work, and also because demand had increased and Welcome Break now reckoned Starbucks was increasing sales by between 20% and 40%. The Corley site didn't close though, and in 2009 Welcome Break opened a new Starbucks at Warwick southbound, followed shortly by an announcement that it would be rolled out nationwide.

Starbucks was introduced, under licence by Welcome Break to Corley in May 2006, where it was trialled alongside Coffee Primo. These are operated under a licence recently extended until 2030. The fact people continue to pay may explain why so many drive thru coffee shops have opened up near the motorways.Īll Welcome Break sites include a Starbucks, and these used to be open 24 hours, until the COVID-19 lockdown. The prices charged at Starbucks are set by the franchisee, and on the motorway these tend to be heavily inflated.

This means you won't find a full Starbucks menu integrated into a restaurant, and in a food court you'll usually find Starbucks with a whole corner to itself.
They like to be kept far away from the other food brands, and ideally they like to have a whole building devoted to their brand. Starbucks are known for their high brand standards. However by the time Starbucks was introduced to the motorway network, the industry was already dominated by Costa. Starbucks is one of the world's most famous high street brands, striking a balance between a premium image and being popular.
The old joke that there's a Starbucks on every corner in London may not be quite true, but they've got a pretty good coverage by the side of the road. Starbucks in a former Little Chef building.
