STARBUCKS has told Ayr customers "Your wait is over" after the official opening date for its new store was confirmed.
The major coffee chain is set to launch new premises in the town in March after a Facebook page named 'Starbucks Ayr' announced the news earlier this year.
The page is run by OCO, a hospitality firm which operates Starbucks stores throughout the rest of the country.
Last year, Starbucks said they were "looking forward" to bringing their brand to the town but had not confirmed an opening date until this week.
The chain was thought to be eying up a currently vacant unit inside Ayr Central shopping centre and that location has been confirmed.
It will open its doors on Friday, March 7 at 7am in the town centre shopping area.
A spokesperson said: "Get ready to expresso yourself at the first ever Starbucks in Ayr town centre.
"Whether you're in the mood to relax, work, study or catch up with friends, we've got the perfect brew for you."
The brand has a host of other outlets across Ayrshire, including inside Sainsbury's supermarket in Prestwick.
The coffee chain was founded in 1971 and has expanded across the world, with franchises in countries across the globe.
