Well, I had a first look at the (presumed Starbucks) construction site in the Lounsbury's Centre parking lot today.
This would not have been my first choice for a location of a standalone Starbucks outlet. The pitch of the parking lot will be a little problematic (but not disastrously so), and the site is located immediately adjacent to the entrance to the strip mall. Depending on how they handle positioning of the drive-thru, I could see some problems with traffic congestion.
Another issue (although not a major one), is that this location is probably not more than 500-600m from the soon to be renovated Target store. There will be a Starbucks at the Target too. It might have been better if they had chosen a site a little further out on Mountain Road, like at Bob Steeves new plaza that will soon be under construction.
