GIFT bags will be given to the first 50 customers at Starbucks’ second East Lothian branch when it opens on Friday.
The coffee giants already have a branch in Haddington, with further plans in the works to also open outlets in Musselburgh and Dunbar.
On Friday, Starbucks will welcome customers to its new branch at the new petrol station services off the Gladsmuir Junction of the A1, Macmerry Services.
The petrol station is also expected to open within a matter of days.
