THEN & NOW...

New Year's Day - January 1, 2017:

There are signs up for Starbucks and Freshii in the windows of the south ground-floor retail section.

 

[Edward Skira]

Finally a Starbucks in the neighbourhood!

 

[ADRM]

Aroma will be mortified...

I think a lot of locals will continue to give them, and especially ROOSTER Coffee their business. I know I will.

You've got to be kidding.

Isn't there one right at Sherbourne and King? That's 2 Starbucks in the last little while. Guess this area is going to be the new thing.

That's the joke. There's another at Front and Frederick as well.

This may come as a shock to some of you, but it turns out that a lot of people like to buy Starbucks coffee. So much so that I've heard that when they open new locations, more often than not, they turn a profit.

A profit?! You mean they're not a non-profit co-operative? Well, that's the last time I ever do business with them!

Sarcasm reigns supreme.

This is not a helpful contribution, especially from a mod.

Nobody questions the popularity or profitability of the chain; we're merely discussing the reality of another location in the neighbourhood and what it means for neighbouring coffee shops.

There are probably going to be a couple thousand new workers in this building. That should be more than enough to keep this new Starbucks, Rooster, Aroma, and Neo (which is the best of all of them) and the others in the neighbourhood all going.
