Starbucks UK senior business manager Matt Ebner said: “We are excited to open our new store in Edinburgh Airport and look forward to welcoming staff and passengers from all around the world. To celebrate the opening, we will be hosting an event for airport staff.”

The new Starbucks store will operate from 04:00 to 22:00 daily, with plans to extend its hours to 24/7 during the peak summer travel season from July to October.

The Edinburgh Airport venue follows the recent transformations of other SSP-operated Starbucks airport locations at Leeds Bradford and Birmingham.

SSP UK and Ireland business development director Cathy Granby stated: “Opening this new Starbucks store at Edinburgh Airport provides passengers with an elevated pre-departure experience from a leading brand.

“We have enjoyed great success with Starbucks at UK travel hubs and I’m confident that we’ll do the same here in Edinburgh.”
