Cost has just pulled out of opening a store in Fore Street, Totnes. because the town does not like big brands, they prefer independent stores.

Thought Costa was given planning permission by South Hams District Council to open the store it planned to open at Fore Street, Totnes. The managing director of Cost Coffee UK took the strong local opposition to the store into consideration and decided that it may not be a good idea to have a Costa coffee shop there after all.
