A new coffee shop is set to open in Grand Central imminently – and fans are ‘excited’.<\/p>\n

Black Sheep Coffee will be taking over Costa Coffee, in unit 41 on November 13.<\/p>\n

Bullring announced the date of the opening on social media as one fan replied: “Love their coffee. Can\u2019t wait” and another said “finally”.<\/p>\n

Costa Coffee and Caffe Concerto both shut down in the shopping centre after a decade of serving punters above New Street Station.<\/p>\n

Both establishments had formed part of the inaugural wave of retailers to launch when Grand Central opened its doors in September 2015.<\/p>\n

Alongside the two cafe\u0301s, a branch of The Perfume Shop has shut its doors, as has Shokupan, though that location might yet reopen.<\/p>\n

Giraffe has also ceased trading, with barriers erected to facilitate construction work on the premises.<\/p>\n

Black Sheep will be joining Tonkotsu and Pizza Pilgrims, two additional food outlets also preparing to launch.<\/p>\n

A Grand Central spokesperson informed BirminghamLive in October: “We’re always looking to deliver what our visitors want which sometimes means evolving our line-up, especially around our food and drink offer.<\/p>\n

“That’s why we’ve introduced Black Sheep Coffee, Tonkotsu and Pizza Pilgrims and have more new arrivals in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

“Meanwhile, we had Sostrene Grene open their first Birmingham<\/a> store last month and have several more fashion brands in discussions.”<\/p>\n

Sostrene Grene launched to great excitement in September, offering an array of distinctive items including homeware, wellness and craft products starting from just 14p.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Black Sheep Coffee will be taking over Costa Coffee in Grand Central on November 13General view of Grand…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":566357,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,748,393,4884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-566356","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-birmingham","8":"tag-birmingham","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115539133999087652","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/566356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=566356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/566356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/566357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=566356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=566356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=566356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
