Coffee shop ready to reopen to public
A city centre coffee shop has made final preparations to reopen its doors to the public.
200 Degrees Coffee's Colmore Row shop in Birmingham city centre will be open seven days a week for takeaway service only and has introduced a number of rules in line with social distancing guidelines.
This includes a limited number of customers being allowed in the shop, floor markings and only two members of staff working behind the counters with perspex screens and cashless payment.
Additionally, staff will be have their temperatures measured every morning, there will be team handwashing every 20 minutes for 20 seconds and hand sanitiser supplied to both staff and customers.
Rob Darby, co-founder of 200 Degrees, said he was pleased to be able to reopen the shop.
"The decision to reopen was due to the fact that it is large and, therefore, we have the space to put into place the social distancing measures," he explained.
"Its location and close proximity to two of Birmingham’s busy main train stations is also a factor and we have a solid takeaway trade at this shop."
