It will have premium coffee not found anywhere else… music that will entice that oh-so-good feeling you get from an amazing Autumn evening… oh, plus Beer & Wine!!! Starbucks is about to turn 40, and like most evolving 40yr olds, they are getting more involved in Wine, Cheese, Specialty meats & Fine Beers.
USA Today was lucky enough to get an up-close-and-personal look at Starbuck’s test run for a future prototype store… and we’re here to let you in on the secret. Polished concrete, a myriad of sustainable products, Family style seating, burlap sacks for wall decorations (actually used sacks), and enough ambiance to sedate an elephant… their Seattle trial run is oozing with middle-age maturity and a hint of eco-rock star. It’s pretty obvious that we are fans of Starbucks at theWGUB (Search Starbucks and see how many stories pop up)… and I have to say, if this little gem rolls into my market I will absolutely give it a try.
Now, this is all pretty premature for those of you eager to sip down wine with your neighborhood’s hot barista… but if things go well, the change could happen faster than you think. For the entire story, read it HERE. You can also check out the video report by USA Today – HERE:
