Jamaica Blue is celebrating the grand opening of its new Ashford café today, Friday 25th September, welcoming customers to enjoy its premium coffee, vibrant all-day dining menu and relaxed café experience for the first time.
The opening marks an exciting new chapter for the brand in Ashford. Located at County Square Shopping Centre, the café represents a £300,000 investment in the town and is creating 15 new jobs for the local area.
