The wine is not cheap - ranges from $6 to $20 per glass. But they are always crowded.
They seem to do extremely well with this business model.
I have a Starbucks at the end of my street.
I’m single and not dating now so I inquired and they are opening wine bars. I am, however, disheartened by their corporate choices of a bakery, for one.
i just bought a new home with no Starbucks so it looks like I’m going to have to develop an evening hangout in my new neighborhood.
