Starbucks now open! Article

Starbucks is now open! Located on the upper mall, in Clocktower dining. Bringing with them their iconic drinks and food menu, and an aesthetically pleasing glass store front and spacious seating areas. 

Opening morning consisted of a ribbon cutting, giving away 100 goodie bags to the lucky first 100 customers, and a professional barista showcasing how to make the perfect coffee, along with coffee sampling. 

The first takeaway order, an Iced Matcha Frappuccino, marked a significant milestone in the store’s opening. Customers expressed their excitement for the new store being open, welcoming the new addition to the local community, appreciating both the attentive service and the extensive selection of beverages available. Early feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many noting the convenience and quality of the experience. 

Each seating area within the store is thoughtfully designed to highlight a unique collection of artwork, all inspired by the iconic Starbucks mermaid logo. The designs pay homage to the twin-tailed mermaid, incorporating subtle nods to the brand’s history and nautical theme. From the intricate wall art to the carefully crafted wooden screens, every detail within the space reflects elements of the mermaid’s imagery, such as her scales and fins. These artistic touches really add to the overall aesthetic of the store.
