Starbucks Parkhurst, located at 31 4th Avenue on the corner of 12th Street, is opening with a Cortado (two ristretto shots topped with warm silky milk) and Croissant special 20% discount offer for the weekend of 30 July to 1 August.
The new store’s manager is Teeman Mncube, who says the Parkhurst market is a perfect fit for the Starbucks brand. “We’re excited about joining the vibrant Parkhurst community, and we’re committed to making sure that our store is an ideal place for people to gather, relax, socialise or work, and enjoy themselves, while experiencing their favourite or soon-to-be favourite items on our food and beverages menu. There’s always something for everyone, and the Starbucks partners are here to welcome customers with our friendly ‘Be My Guest’ spirit.”
The store’s operating hours are from 6am to 6pm, seven days a week, depending on lockdown restrictions.
