Posted on July 24, 2016 by BrownhillsBob

There’s been lots of talk here about the new Costa Coffee outlet due to open in Brownhills – and a couple of weeks ago I spotted a job advert for the new store – sadly, this was oversubscribed quickly and many were left disappointed.

Posted on July 12, 2016 by BrownhillsBob

Posted on January 29, 2016 by BrownhillsBob

I’ve been aware of rumours of the well-known coffee chain Costa opening a branch in Brownhills for a few weeks, but up to now have been unable to nail them down – but thanks to a couple of tweets by an architectural agency I spotted yesterday, it seems like the froth-mongers are indeed looking to establish in the town.

Another former pub goes up in smoke

Posted on August 12, 2011 by BrownhillsBob
