When entering the outlet, the décor instantly makes you feel like you have walked into a coffee store, while the staff are friendly and make you feel welcomed.

The store also features a drive-thru which is handy for coffee lovers who are in a rush.

The 26-year-old has worked with Starbucks for just over two years now and has worked her way up from a barista to a store manager.

She said: “I’m really excited about the opening. I’ve done a few store openings now, and I’ve been in Starbucks for about two years.

"This is my first one as a store manager, so that’s what I’m probably most excited about and a change of location as I was over in Hillington before.”

Chloe is also looking forward to learning about the new regulars who will be at the Barrhead store.

“The best bit about the job is the regulars, honestly, they just get you through your day,” Chloe said.

We previously reported that the coffee shop would be opening their new drive-thru branch in the town today.
