What the World Really Needs: Another SBUX in Short Pump


That’s right folks; it’s almost time to unveil another Starbucks in Downtown Short Pump. And like many of the coffee chain’s newer stores, it’s a drive thru!

It will be located behind the Chili’s restaurant and across the street from some electronics store going down the toilet.

What, you don’t think Short Pump needs another location?
Let’s count’em up:

Short Pump Mall next to Pottery Barn Kids
Barnes & Noble Bookstore
Shops at Westgate near Panera Bread
Newly-remodeled Target store
And I want to say the Kroger next door also has a location

So, if you need to try the new Strawberries and Cream Frap in the coming weeks and you’re in DSP, you will have only five Starbucks to choose from. Option six should be completed soon though.

As the West End teeny-boppers like to say: “OMG, it’s completely ridic!”
