Streetlevel: A Starbucks on Every Corner?
How many Starbucks locations are there in Brooklyn at present? 21. How many will there be in three years? About 100.

How many Starbucks locations are there in Brooklyn at present? 21. How many will there be in three years? About 100. At yesterday’s quarterly Brooklyn Real Estate Roundtable luncheon at the Brooklyn Historical Society, the coffee giant’s real estate broker in Brooklyn noted that the company was planning to open 25 stores a year for the next three years and that, given the recent transformation of Brooklyn, its expansion was “not precluded from any neighborhood.” (The recently-opened location in Brighton Beach, for example, has been a big success.) Hey, maybe Crown Heights will get its day in the services sun after all? Clinton Hill, Bed Stuy and PLG are also lacking, for that matter.
PLG is certainly “lacking” a Starbucks, but I think they’d have a REALLY hard time drawing customers away from K-Dog.
Perhaps they could make it here if they “pioneered” on Rogers Ave, an historically failed commercial strip that IMO would, some day, be perfect for restaurants, antique shops , and art galleries [actually, it DOES have one of those already].
Bring it to Franklin and Eastern Pky in the new development on the NE corner. The tenants will be able to support it and by the time the bldg is built the nabe will have changed significantly still. Even though I dont like the coffee i would support it ! We have few options in CHeights
Bring it to Crown Heights baby! Empty storefronts on Kingston!
I have a boner right now.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end……
They should put more brownstones in Brooklyn.
I don’t believe this actually.
Brooklyn could not possibly support 75 more Starbucks. That’s absurd.
I hear the one on 7th Avenue isn’t even doing well with Ozzie’s and Gorilla giving them a run for their money.
The economy is taking a dive. People will be a lot more reluctant to spend 4 bucks a day on coffee.
Great,
Starbucks = Services
Way to go brownstoner.
I applaude the increase in public restrooms
meanwhile, they’re tring to get out of their lease on Montague. Fine with me; that’s a lousy starbucks.
