Starbuck's Grand Blvd. Closing

i didn't even know there was one down there

I was wondering how long that would take...

My sister worked for SB in this area for several years and that store... well... to put it lightly, I'll call it a "loss leader". Their hours were awful. They closed early in the evening. Hardly anyone knew they were there (I'll blame lack of signage for that one). They should have bit the dust when Cold Stone did, but it seems Intrawest kept them afloat until now, perhaps thinking something would change. Although, I still think that if they just moved it over into the more bustling part of the Grand, they may do better. Who needs three SB's in a one mile radius though?

Yeah! You and Lewis Black both figured that out...now it seems the SB brains have caught up!

Wine World is taking over this location and turning it into a wine bar. We are still working on the fine details but we will have a large selection of cheese, gourmet foods, Enomatic wine systems and also serving lunch (maybe dinner). The walls are going to be removed so you can shop while you have a glass of wine.

A wine bar always trumps a coffee bar.

They weren't on the closure list, but I never saw a lot of patrons in there so it's not surprising. Kudos to Wine World. You guys have a great store!

I think only the corporate-owned stores which were closing, were on that list of closings, and I think that store in Grand Blvd is owned by the same ppl who own the Baytowne SB.

unless you can get both. try amavida in seagrove or seaside.

Yeah!! I love the Chan's location across from the Commons, but this will be much more conveinent!!

Why can't the folks in amavida be friendlier?

I'll take wine over coffee any day!

That's as in "Chan's Wine World", correct?

So are you going to have the same wine and cheese selection as in Destin?

If so, that's fabulous news.
