The fact that Starbucks may actually be considering Locke Street should also be interpreted as a good sign in that even with its huge expansion, the chain is still fairly selective with where it places shops. Maybe it finally has some confidence in Hamilton, where it is currently virtually non-existent.

As an aside, there is an intersection in Vancouver at which Starbucks has a location on three of the four corners --- I once heard (although I am not sure how reliable the source was) that they were considering placing a shop on the fourth one as well!
