A CITY centre coffee shop has closed its doors due to 'team member resourcing'

Costa Coffee, on Winchester High Street, has not opened for business for several days. Despite being listed as open online, the café is empty with its doors locked and no lights on.

There is no indication of what caused the closure or if the branch will reopen at a later date. No note has been left on the front door to inform customers.

This follows the closure of several city centre food businesses including Republic of Pizza and Desserts on the High Street. It is unclear whether it will reopen and has been unavailable for comment.

Rawberry on St George's Street also closed its doors to be replaced by Naafi due to open later this month.

A Costa Coffee spokesman said: “Unfortunately, our Winchester, 116-117 High Street, store is currently closed due to team member resourcing. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused customers, and we hope to open the store soon. Customers can visit our nearby Costa Coffee store at Winchester Railway Station, Station Hill, Winchester, or use our store locator to find their nearest Costa Coffee store: https://www.costa.co.uk/locations/store-locator/map.”

Costa was asked to clarify the phrase 'team member resourcing'.
