Costa Coffee hopes to open shop in The Malls
8:00pm Thursday 27th September 2012 in News By Emily Roberts, Chief Reporter
COSTA Coffee has applied to open a shop in The Malls in Basingstoke town centre.
The chain wants to use the former Evans store, in Castle Square, and has asked Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council for permission to change the unit from a Class A1 to a mixed use Class A1 and A3 coffee shop with 23 tables and 56 chairs.

I think that corner would be good for a coffee shop particularly if they can open it up a bit more and maybe have some tables and chairs outside
