Starbucks to open new location on Jefferson Health campus
https://www.bizjournals.com/philadel...Pos=0#cxrecs_s
The Seattle-headquartered coffee giant is moving into a ground-floor space at the corner of 11th and Chestnut streets in Thomas Jefferson University Hospital's Gibbon Building. The commercial space was most recently occupied by a TD Bank branch that shuttered in early 2021.

Well they did have to install special lights in the bathrooms to try to deter addicts from shooting up and had to have employees mop up blood on a regular basis so...
This location is going to come with some extra security benefits so it's not a good correlation.

I ask because it seems as though the flow of folks in a post-Covid world into the region has not stopped, even as back to work and hybrid policies renew.
I've been poking around in the Delaware County Register of Deeds site, and for example, of the last ten real estate transactions in Chadds Ford Township, it appears as though 6 of them are to people who moved there from out of state (or country): Florida, New York, Virginia, Georgia, California, and India.
This feels disproportionate compared to the past.

This is an interesting topic and one I have been personally tracking, not growing up in the Philly area myself and thinking about my next move. Many of my neighbors in MontCo are from other states and countries and the pandemic seemed to accelerate this shift. But they are starting to leave, though, for numerous reasons. In the last few months:
- One family from Canada to OH due to a job transfer.
- One family from OH back to OH to be closer to family.
- One single male to FL.
- One couple is building a house in FL and moving at the end of this year.
- One single male will be moving back to FL within a few years.
- Two sisters + Mom from Iran are discussing moving back to FL but also house shopping in PA outside of the Philly area and towards Allentown.
- One couple discussing moving closer to NYC where she is from (she can't stand PA/Philly, we have some funny conversations ha ha).
I am seeing more out of state plates around me than ever, with FL, GA and NY being the top (I don't count NJ or DE, as you never know if that is for a move or just in the area for the day). So anecdotally many arrive but not as many are staying for more than a few years. I've been in the area for many years now and have never seen it this transient.
