Speaking of Starbuck's, I understand that it is public info now, so I will share -- Starbuck's recently purchased the Pizza Hut building in Sandestin (Discount Stores), and after today, Pizza Hut will close at that location. Pizza Hut will be opening a new store near the new CVS in Sandestin, but it will be carrout out and delivery only. Word on the street is that Starbuck's will tear down at least part of the building and make room for outdoor seating (yes, in the middle of an asphalt parking lot, surrounded by much exhaust from all the cars :confused:).

beachmouseBeach FanaticBluewater Bay, FL3,499 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticI understand the Starbucks opening in Watercolor is a corporate store , which has lower prices than a franchise store. I think is is rotten to do that to someone who buys into a franchise. I thought a store would have a little protection of a certain number of miles between locations. Oh well, I guess that is the business world.
Though by Starbucks standards, they're putting a lot of distance between SoWal stores. Anyone else remember the line from Best in Show where the yuppies were talking about how they met, and it was something like "I was standing at Starbucks getting my half skim extra hot latte, and there she was at the Starbucks across the street getting her half skim extra hot latte. Our eyes met from each side of Michigan Avenue and...."
Just noticed the sign at WaterColor Starbucks. The round logo sign is fairly small, maybe 2' in diameter at the most. The 10' wide "Starbuck's Coffee" sign above it is maybe one ft tall at most, but no other store in WaterColor has two signs and most are only as large as the Starbuck's logo sign. The sign is brown in color and not obnoxious at all. In fact, if I weren't looking for it, I wouldn't have noticed it.

Jdarg - they have coffee makers/espresso makers you can hook up in your car - I guess it'd be a good thing for someone who is on the road all of the time?
