A THRIVING Ayr coffee business is set to open up in its first physical premises next week.

The Bullish Coffee Company is a retailer and wholesaler based in the town, and also runs a mobile coffee van.

It is now set to open up for the first time inside McIntyre Barberista on Prestwick's Main Street, taking over the running of the drinks offering there.

A spokesperson said: "On Tuesday we will open for the first time in a bricks and mortar building.

"We are sticking to our quirky roots and opening our shop inside McIntyre Barberista.

"We believe this space has ticked all the boxes you would love in a coffee shop - dog friendly, outdoor and indoor seating, music and a chilled atmosphere with really cool people.

"The coffee bar in there has been operating for a while now, but we have very kindly been asked to take it on as part of our business.

"Please note that the van will continue as normal. Thank you all for your support and messages over the past few days."
