Anyone know anything about the Starbucks supposedly going in at the Seacrest shops?

I was under the impression that there were no franchises on 30a

No rules against franchises. But no new drive throughs. We've already had a couple of Starbucks as well.

There used to be one at Rosemary and another in Grayton. Rosemary's went away. Grayton turned into Bass Ass Coffee. They're quite good and roast their own bean in Pensacola...or used to anyway

I'd rather see competition. Starbucks is certainly convenient, but they routinely get their butts handed to them in taste tests. So many better coffeeS out there....Dunkin Donuts for one. Bad Ass Coffee, Amavida, and Sunrise Coffee are all better, IMHO.

Locals already kicked their ass once they'll do it again. Brands will always pull but locals and toursits want AUTHENTIC experiences.

Starbucks doesn't franchise anymore.

Starbucks left due to the economic downturn not because locals didn't patronize it.
