You made me go to Huffing-n-Blows!  :tongue:

Heh, heh. I like Starbucks and am glad to see Cincinnati didn't loose any stores.  :-)

woo, there for a minute I thought I might care!

Actually, I've been to only one Starbucks, and that was only once, and that was through the drive-thru, and it was in Terrell, Tx., across I-20 from the Tanger Outlet Mall, and my daughter ordered for me and paid the bill.

I must be good luck.  I don't see that location on the list.

Yeah, well I saw this over at DU and didn't care to actually see if the whole list was posted somewhere else.  Plus, it's not a political piece so I didn't care so much that it was Huffpo, though I hardly ever read anything from there.


I did work at Starbucks for 3 years, none of the stores I worked at are closing.  4 stores in my town are though.  I never go to Starbucks anymore anyways.

I only know the areas around here, but it looks like smaller towns and outlying areas of a couple larger cities are losing a few stores.

Thank goodnes the one down the street was spared.  :whatever:

*shakes head* It would never work out - your tastes are too expensive for me. First you must acquire a taste for drinking from a box. Next we work on coffee from the gas station.

Just teasing ya. I worked at a Barns & Noble for 2 years selling Starbucks coffee. Developed a taste for it. Taste/addiction, you know... whatever.  :uhsure:

Expensive taste? I got industrial size Folgers coffee in the fridge. Also, I discovered you can pay for the big bottle of wine with money from donating blood and it's the same as if you drank a whole box of box wine.

OK the last one is a joke but it's something we did do for beer money in college back in the day, LOL.  :cheersmate:

$30 - $35 once/week , $120 - $150/Month. There are harder and worse ways of making that kinda scratch.
It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

Wow, just not long ago they were bragging about how fast they were growing.

Some on the list are the only store in that town, and the only one for 30 or more miles...

Starbucks was pretty new to where I used to live in IL/IA....but now I see just in Davenport, IA they are closing three..including the one in the mall....They built like five new one within a ten mile radius in a year..I knew it could not last long.

I do enjoy Starbucks once in a while, especially the seasonal flavors.

While I don't drink Starbuck's very often, I do like a decent cup of espresso. Enroute between Texas and MN, I discovered that Mickey D's had started selling espresso. It was every bit as good as Starbucks and about 1/3rd of the cost (maybe 1/2). It doesn't break my heart that some stores are closing down because they are just plain overpriced. Not only their coffee, but any of the "hardware" they sell inside.

I tried that once.  They didn't mix it well... I had coffee on the top and what tasted like their vanilla shake mix on the bottom.

It was okay.

I just checked again on Mall of Georgia... I forgot they had 2 Starbucks in that mall.  :thatsright:   Makes absolutely no sense, as the busier location (on the bottom floor, next to the carousel) is centrally-located and easy to get to, while the other is further down on the second level, towards Macy's, which is the one that they must be shuttering.   It's good to know a friend's job is not in jeopardy (he makes my frappacino just the way I like it.  :-) ).
