Winterville Starbucks

The first step to rapidly injecting new life into a slowly evolving neighborhood is to open a Starbucks. Sure, sure, corporate greed and all that, but c'mon. I need caffeine and the Dunkin' coffee tastes like burned plastic to me. Don't get me wrong, I dig the Boston Creme, but that isn't gonna go far to wake me up in the morning.

So, how do you get a Starbucks in your neighborhood? Well, although Dunkin' franchises:

if you want a Starbucks in your neighborhood, you have to 'request' that they open a store in your neighborhood, because they do not franchise. Or, you can keep dragging your butt over to the one in the middle of nowhere on Somerville Ave.

"How can I request that a Starbucks store open in my neighborhood?
Please refer to the Contact Us section of our Web site to let us know of your interest for a new Starbucks store in your community"

So, that's the task for the Wintervillians today- contact Starbucks and let them know we want one. Let's see how long it takes.
