POPULAR coffee shop and pizzeria Del Marco has opened in new and bigger premises in Bournemouth’s Albert Road.

The family owned business has been in the town centre for more than 20 years, most recently in nearby Yelverton Road.

The new home is the former office of tour operator Palmair and managing director, David Skillicorn, cut the ribbon.

He said: “This place has many great memories for me and I delighted to see it being used once again for a great family business which I am very familiar with from my Palmair days.”

Paul Kinvig, chief operating officer of the Bournemouth Town Centre BID said: “It’s great to see a fantastic local business going from strength to strength. There is a lot happening in Albert Road.”

Del Marco’s owners Ed and Kas and chef Salvatore are looking forward to welcoming customers back with a new menu.”
