Costa Coffee coming to Folkestone
Costa Coffee are moving into Sandgate Road, in the old QS premises. the store opens in September, and they're currently advertising for employees.
So, does this mean Starbucks still is, or they never were, or what? Did the Costa factoid confuse the news (and rumour) mongers?
Here is a picture of QS, so you can remember it as it was (just after it shut down). If you squint you can possibly make out the phone number to call for job opportunities. Do they need a web developer do you think..?
OH YEAH, the British Heart Foundation charity shop in nearby Guildhall Street is also closing, this is a good sign, Guildhall Street is right on the up I feel.

This is my website The FG that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite venues and things, and I know it was a useful reference for those who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from a fake paper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
