A NEW coffee shop is coming to Malmesbury at the end of May.

A date for the opening has not yet been confirmed but the arrival is thought to create eight new jobs including management roles.

Coffee#1, a small fast growing chain of coffee-houses will replace the HSBC branch that closed in January last year at number 23 on the high-street.

The coffee shop are currently advertising for a manager and a team leader with the applicant asked to be enthusiastic, have a positive attitude and have a passion for coffee.

Originating in 2001 in Cardiff, Wales, the chain operates over 55 shops across Wales, southern and central England.
