THERE are no plans to close a Costa coffee shop at Launceston’s Tesco supermarket.

It had been rumoured locally that the coffee shop was to close following speculation another coffee shop would open at the nearby Launceston Retail Park.

The Post has previously reported that retailers, including B&M, are set to open at the retail park, after the recent closure of the B&Q store.

When asked if the Costa coffee shop at Launceston’s Tesco could close, a spokesperson for Tesco said: “We have no plans to close the Costa branch at our Launceston store.”
