Spar shoppers say ‘I need this’ as new drink hits the shelves

The drink will be sold only in Spar and those loyal to their drink of choice are getting ready to start buying

Drink lovers are prepping to ‘stock up’ as Spar has revealed it is the only shop that will sell Starbucks’ new autumn-favourite flavour. The convenience store has announced it will exclusively be stocking the brand-new Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino (250ml).

The new chilled coffee, brought to market through Spar’s partnership with Red Star and Arla Foods, will be available at Spar exclusively until August 19, 2026. This means that for around three weeks the convenience store will be the only place pumpkin spice lovers are able to purchase one of the coffee chain’s most exciting autumnal flavours.

Coffee lovers took to social media to share their delight about the new release, with one user commenting ‘Need to find this one’, while another said ‘Ok going to need a lot of this’. Spar says the beverage is a ‘reimagination of the iconic autumn favourite’ which ‘delivers a comforting and authentic pumpkin spice experience’.

It’s the first time the coffee giant’s iconic pumpkin spice flavour is available in a ready-to-drink, chilled format. Starbucks lovers shared their delight about the news on social media – and say they are already planning on stocking up ahead of autumn.
