A new coffee shop is set to open in Heathcote later this year.

Bewiched Coffee has announced that it will take over unit four at Lower Heathcote Square off Vickers Way.

The company, which was launched by Matt Fountain in 2010 in Wellingborough, now operates 13 stores across Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire.

The company also runs a shop in the Clock Towers Shopping Centre in Rugby and has plans to open a store at the Co-op in Balsall Common.

The latter is part of a new partnership with the Heart of England Co-operative Society which will see the opening of 15 new coffee shops over the next five years.

Taking to social media the coffee chain announced the "exciting" news of the Heathcote store opening.

"We believe this is an excellent location with an amazing community vibe which we can't wait to become a part of!

"Our purpose is to deliver amazing moments for our customers and our teams and we are on the look out now for an exceptional team to come on the journey with us!

"If you are like-minded and love people then we want to hear from you. Training will be taking place at our closest store in Rugby so own transport is preferable however we can help facilitate this for the right candidates!"

A Bewiched spokesperson told Nub News that the store would be opening "in the coming weeks".

The store will follow the recent opening of high-end fish and chip shop and gelateria Harbury Catch at the end of July.

A statement on the Bewiched Coffee website says: "The systems and processes we have in place are world leading, in fact we are very confident they eclipse the multi-nationals. 

"Our training, coaching & recognition is industry leading."

It added: "Our brand is synonymous with authentic values, put simply, we are here to provide better service, better coffee & better food, than the generic brands."
