(Image: Black Sheep Coffee) A spokesperson for Black Sheep Coffee said: "Expect the full line-up: speciality-grade coffee, matchas in every flavour, Norwegian waffles worth the trip alone, and a laid-back space to fuel up, wind down, and leave the herd behind. "Renowned for unapologetically bold flavours and an unrivalled commitment to quality, Black Sheep Coffee are innovators in the space – by sourcing the first speciality-grade 100% Robusta coffee, they went against the market trends and became the 'Black Sheep' of the coffee world. "The coffee shop group recently launched a brand-new lemonade category, with both classic and matcha-spiked options in flavour-packed combos like Lychee, Lavender, Passionfruit, and Peach. MORE NEWS: They added: "Every drink can be levelled up with one of Black Sheep Coffee's signature boosters: think prebiotic fibre for gut health, collagen for that glow-up, brain-boosting nootropics, or a hit of CBD to help keep stress at bay. It's hydration, upgraded." Alan Pruden-Barker, centre manager at Broughton, said: 'We know Black Sheep Coffee already has a strong following across the UK, so it's exciting to be able to bring the brand to our visitors across North Wales for the first time. "It's a great addition to our line-up and we're pleased to offer another space for our shoppers to catch up with friends and family or simply take a moment for themselves to relax with a coffee.'

'Fantastic addition' as retailer opens on North Wales shopping park
A global fashion retailer has opened its first store in North Wales. Mango opened at Broughton Shopping Park with bosses describing it as a "fantastic addition". They have taken on a unit left empty when shoe retailer Clarks left despite a petition by shoppers to save it. The unit had been left empty since then. It is part of an expansion by the international fashion group in the UK. The 4,000 sq ft store offers Mango's women's line exclusively, from clothing to accessories and footwear. Alan Pruden-Barker, centre manager at Broughton, said: 'It's incredibly exciting to welcome visitors into our new Mango store and we feel very proud to have been selected as the brand's first destination in North Wales. 'As a leading international fashion name, we know it will be a big hit with visitors. It's a fantastic addition to the centre - especially as visitors look to enhance their summer wardrobes - and further strengthens our growing fashion offer.' A Mango spokesperson said: "The fit out is based on a Mediterranean-inspired concept, New Med, which showcases the brand's spirit and freshness. Sustainability and architectural integration are key in the new design, which conceives the Mango store as a Mediterranean home with different rooms with a predominance of warm tones and neutral colours, combined with traditional, handcrafted, sustainable, and natural materials." Broughton shopping park opened in June 1999 with 300,000 square feet of shops and 16 initial retailers. The site now has around 40 retailers as well as a leisure and restaurant complex. It is the busiest shopping park in North Wales with over 10m annual visitors and around 2,000 people employed there.
