PLANS to change the former Frankie and Benny’s restaurant in Stairfoot into a Starbucks chain have been approved by Barnsley Council.
The application, which was submitted on October 28, was approved earlier this month and so the Doncaster Road chain will become the second Starbucks in Barnsley - after the store on the Dearne Valley Parkway.
The new store is set to bring a total of 45 jobs - 17 full-time and 28 part-time - to the borough.
As well as the new Starbucks, the application included the erection of a separate detached building - on the same site - which will be used as a hot food takeaway delivery hub for pizza giants Domino’s.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
