CUSTOMERS have flocked to a new and improved Costa Coffee after it moved across the road in Boscombe.

The new shop - which has taken over the former South Coast Living unit having left the Sovereign Centre last week - was packed with caffeine-hungry consumers when it opened for business yesterday (TUES).

The coffee chain moved to increase its premises size.

Manager Sunisa Wongjampa has worked for the company for five years and said the previous site was becoming too much of a squeeze.

She said: "It has been manic.

"Everyone is loving the new store with the new areas and the new seats.

"It's a much larger premises.

"The last one was quite tiny.

"Everyone is getting used to it all but I definitely prefer this site and the customers are happy so that makes us happy."
