National specialists in interior fit-out services for the food retail and hospitality sector, Jephsons Shopfitters, hit a new milestone with the handover of its 200th Costa Coffee café in the company’s home town.

The new Drive-to Costa on St Peter’s Retail Park, Mansfield, has seating inside and out.

Jephsons first started working with Costa Coffee, the UK’s biggest coffee brand in 2010, when it became one of only five approved interior fit-out providers in the UK for the Whitbread-owned company.

According to Jephsons’ project manager, Mark Betteley, the project went as smoothly as possible.

“We had a team of two joiners on the project from start to finish and I have to say the quality and end result is possibly the best I’ve seen,” he said. “We handed the café over completely snag-free.”

Café manager Jordan Waites said: “We have had lots of comments from customers saying how much they like the bright, light and airy interior of the store.”

Jephsons, based on Hermitage Lane, has been providing interior fit out services for brands such as KFC, Pizza Express and Costa Coffee for nearly 60 years with its team of 40 plus joiners and fitters.

“We benchmark all of our work on quality and believe in maintaining high standards for our clients,” said Jephsons operations director, Nigel Schofield.

“With an ever-increasing order book we are always on the lookout for experienced joiners and fitters to complement our existing team.”
