Costa to fill Chaud Lapin spot

Guernsey restaurant which has been closed for more than three years is to re-open as the island's second Costa Coffee outlet.

There's already a branch of the chain in Checkers at Admiral Park, but by the end of March 2010, there will be another in the former Chaud Lapin restaurant in town.

Sandpiper CI's CEO, Tony O'Neill, told channelonline.tv their search for the right premises for their second outlet had been extensive:

"We have been looking for the right site for some time and [the] Commercial Arcade has the advantage of being a pedestrian precinct enabling us to introduce an alfresco area."

The new Costa Coffee will employ eight staff who will be trained in the UK prior to taking up their posts.

I don't understand why it's taken so long for them to find the right site, it's already one of their premises isn't it?

me neither technophobe. i thought sandpiper owned it too .very strange lol

Seems a bit daft to me being in direct competition with themselves within the arcade , they own Dix Neuf too

HYPE HYPE HYPE!
