Starbucks, 831 Gervais Street: November 2021 10 comments
This closing is a bit surprising. I know this Starbucks doesn't have a drive-through, but I thought that there was plenty of foot traffic in The Vista especially during the Holiday Season. On the other hand, Google has marked the place as "temporarily closed", and the branding and furnishings are not gone. On the third hand, the door has a real-estate type keybox on it now.
Anyway, at least for now, you'll have to walk up a block to Panera.

Starbucks Coffee, 6080-A Garners Ferry Road: 1 May 2014 (moved) 6 comments
Old:
New:
Starbucks has now moved from its original Woodhill location by Panera Bread down to the corner formerly occupied by Qdoba.
The new location gives it a drive through window, but perhaps more importantly in my view, moves it away from Panera. It has never made much sense to me to have a coffee and pastry shop located... right next to a shop that sells better coffee and pastries in a more comfortable setting. Without the drive-through all they had going for them was staying open a little later.

Starbucks Coffee, 480 Town Center Place Suite 6: 1 January 2012 22 comments
Well, this is an interesting closing, more for the implications than anything else. Starbucks is not in the business of closing stores that make money, and this is a foot-traffic location, so I would say that this section of Sandhill, at least, does not get as much foot traffic as expected, and that, in addition, they decided it wasn't worth it to move to one of the empty spots on the main drag either.
As for the store itself, I think I stopped there once or twice, and it was fine: A typical Starbucks with no apparent problems.
