Wow ... the Starbucks on South 7th opened less than 6 months ago!

Though I live in Soulard, I never did go there ... I'm more of a Soulard Coffee Garden person myself.

whew.....for now Chippewa is not on the list.
It'll be interesting to see what moves into those locations. Betting it's not coffee shops.

Likewise, the one in Granite City just opened up a year or so ago...maybe not even THAT long! I teach night classes at a community college in GC, and I grab a latte there about every week. Bummer!

When I read about Starbucks closing down stores today, I wasn't the least bit afraid of them filing for bankruptcy or closing down forever. I've been following the whole Starbucks ordeal on savvywallet.com. Even with the free iced coffee on Wednesday promotion, introduction of their fruity smoothies, and free wifi with gift card registrations. The only thing I'm worried about is not enough hotspots for wifi. There are several stores around my area that are closing down, and that's what I'm concerned about. I enjoy walking around the streets, plop down and always be able to find a signal because I know a Starbucks is near. The glory days are over.

Florida loses 59 stores, including three each in Tampa and Palm Beach Gardens.

Either way, if I had a Starbucks in my neighborhood and it was closing down and there was no other choice, I would be bummed.
