I've contacted Starbucks more than once pointing out the places (like Gore Park) where a store would be successful and the demand for it. I don't know if it really does anything, but you get enough people's interest in an area and asking for it, it could tip the scales to where they put the next Hamilton-area one.

James North I'd love to see something independent, but for Gore Park, I think a chain is the way to go.
