No, not yet anyway. We were open for such a short time before they opened that we didn’t get a solid customer base before they started to pick up market share. Then over the summer gas prices spikes and business dried up.
However, I have heard rumors that they aren’t doing well at that location. I’ve never read about a Starbucks closing but I suppose it could happen.
It’s been rough but we’re still here!
Good deal. Best of luck to you, sir.
Now that I think about it, I believe I read about Starbucks driving up independent coffee house sales in one of my MBA textbooks. If I can find it, I’ll post it to you.
