Starbucks closing in Rosemary?

[DavidD]

From what I've read, Starbucks is a great employer. As a designer I've envied the creative freedom they give their staff (and the free coffee to fuel on), they've always put a lot of attention on their branding. I've heard they're good to about all of their employees, not to mention working on the fair-trade issues. I still prefer a nice mom and pop operation though, but like that Starbucks made coffee houses mainstream. I will still go to one, if its the only place to get my fix. I wonder if the Grayton Starbucks will expand somehow? That is the world's smallest Starbucks I think

We agree a local company may have difficulty moving into these locations and make it work with the rents they are asking. We are not closing. We simply found that the majority of our business is morning through lunchtime and evenings aren't worth staying open for. If you are going to be a displaced "Bucks" Customer, please come try The Coffee House. We are located at Watercolor Crossing (next to publix) and have all your favorite coffee and espresso beverages. David goes in every morning and bakes our muffins, scones, cookies, biscuits, and croissants. Our breakfast sandwiches are fantastic and we also have a full line of made to order deli sandwiches and paninis made with Boars Head meats. Our coffee and espresso comes direct from Kaldi's Coffee Roasting Company in St. Louis and we are sure you'll love it!

I was in Kaldi's this morning--really good product.

It's gotta be the rent, not a single PC/PCB location is closing and some of those go all day without someone coming in. Oh well, that leaves us with Miss Lucille's, My Daddy's Cheescake, Hibiscus, Amavida 2 locations, Fonville press, and Wild Olives. All local and all better than starbucks anyway.

The one in Target and the one on the boardwalk at Pier park kick butt. They have one in the condo thats ran by the Wyndham, I have no idea how that one does. Which Starbucks in PCB do you speak of? I hate to see the one gone at Rosemarys because thats right by my house.

I'm not sure what you're saying, I was referring to all of the PC/PCB locations.

Im not sure what you are saying, which one doesnt have any business? The only one i know of in PC is by the mall, it should be doing good because of location even though they should have a drive thru there. Please tell me which one doesnt do good because Im curious. Like I said the Pier Park one is booming, one of the busiest in NW Florida i was told. I also read a article that said the 5 guys there was the busiest in America, even more than the original in DC.

Closed Yet??

I went to the one in Grayton today at 8:30 and it was closed. Is the Rosemary one still open? I ended up waiting in line at the one in Watercolor for 30 minutes. No lie.

wait, wait, wait. Do I sense lament regarding the demise of McCoffee? Ehhh-good riddance. Come spring new coffee shops will arise in these locations to satisfy your palates. Until then, do yourself a favor and patronize CC's, PJ's or Amavida...heck, the 393 @ 98 Chevron that sells Community sells a better cup of coffee than that mediocre Seattle crap. Goodbye Starbucks-on behalf of those too shy to say it-we will not miss you

...Starbucks... My family spent a lot of quality time there this summer during our stay.

not two things i would expect to be in the same posting. as flspirit said 'bummed for those who will lose jobs' but not bummed to see $tarbucks leaving 30A. <-- bye bye smiley. Support locally owned businesses.

Mr. Kitty will just have to plug in the coffee pot. Although, he and Molly would take a walk over every morning together. The best was when Ceruleans sold coffee in the morning....they always had a dog biscuit for our girl.

I am curious how the Uptown Grayton location will handle the extra parking traffic for the addicted?

The shoulder of County HWY 30-A is a prime parking spot
