To celebrate the opening, an official ribbon cutting ceremony will take place on 14 December at 10am.  Jack Hunter-Spivey, a local Sheffield table tennis Paralympian, will cut the ribbon. 

The store will be open between 6am and 9pm Monday to Saturday and 8am to 8pm on Sunday. 

It will be run by 23.5 Degrees, Starbucks' first franchised business partner, and marks the 60th Starbucks store 23.5 Degrees has opened in the UK.  That's the tenth new opening for the firm in just six months.

The store's team will support local Paralympian and UK number 1 table tennis player Jack Hunter-Spivey as he prepares for the Tokyo Paralympics in 2020.  Living in Hillsborough, Sheffield, and training at the English Institute of Sport in the city, Jack competed in the Rio Paralympics in 2016.  He was born with cerebral palsy and was blind and deaf until he was nine months old.  The store's team will support Jack with fund raising so he's able to focus on his training.
