ELECTRICAL goods store Purewell has opened its doors to local coffee outlet Mocha Turtle.

Originally based in Tuckton Road, Mocha Turtle have spread their wings and opened up another coffee bar inside Purewell's showroom at the new Meteor Shopping Park in Christchurch which officially opens today.

Mocha Turtle co -owner Rosie said: “Mocha Turtle have been serving coffees for more than six years in Tuckton and we are very excited to be expanding and serving our coffees within Purewell store.

"Our coffee, home-made cakes and locally sourced treats are famous in Tuckton and we hope to now spread the caffeine fix over in Christchurch.”

Speaking about the choice to create a space for a cafe within Purewell, Will Griffiths, Purewell commercial manager, said: "We are so excited to have opened a new Mocha Turtle cafe in our award winning showroom.

"We were approached by a number of national coffee chains but we wanted to work with another local business.

"Purewell is a family business and has been in Christchurch for 60 years, so it seemed only right that we work with another Christchurch business.

"Purewell has been a bit tucked away over the last few years so it is exciting to be on a major shopping park again.

"We hope that the opening of Mocha Turtle will see an increase in our footfall."
