almost all the safeways here have starbucks inside them except for the old ones

up until a few years ago you could use your safeway club card and get every 10th drink free at the starbucks inside a store - but they stopped that

its hugely popular with the young folk these days - apparently - maybe a little on the outs - but the Bay has had bench depts in some of their stores for a couple years now - nice stuff - street wear

Probably a smart move on IGA's part - too much area competition.

******

I saw a Starbucks inside Safeway in Portland, OR.

I've never been in a Safeway without a Starbucks in Calgary.

Funny thing is, near me, there is a Safeway with a Starbucks, a Chapters with a Starbucks, with a Starbucks location inbetween them, inside a strip mall.

And in a new little strip mall there is a Safeway with a Starbucks, with an actual Starbucks less than 100 feet away... and another Starbucks about 500m down the street.

Calgary could possibly be taking over from Vancouver in Starbucks mania

the starbucks inside other stores are not "real" starbucks they are licensed concepts - i believe run by cara foods - so thats why you often find a "real" ie corporate starbucks very close to other places

there is one inside sears downtown and than one across the street on granville - my friend worked at the one is sears and his room mate worked at a "real" one - his room mate could pick up shifts at almost any starbucks store but my friend couldn't do that he could only work at the sears one - he could apply to work at a real store but he never tried

Plenty of Safeways have Starbucks here too.. typically when they get renovated they add the Starbucks.

Heck, at this point I wouldn't be surprised to see a Starbucks inside of a Starbucks.

If it sells everything Starbucks sells, they dress in Starbucks uniforms, and it's branded as Starbucks; it's a Starbucks.

At least to 100% of the general public.

yes I never knew until my friend told me - but to the employess its a little different - they didn't get the same benefits of perks that the real starbucks workers did

I think on Davie there is a starbucks inside the store and than one below the store

Cara doesn't operate Starbucks locations. They own Second Cup.

Tim Horton's is far more popular in Alberta than it is in Vancouver.

I was recently in Calgary and found that, other than downtown, it could still be hard to find a Starbucks nearby.

Depends what side of the city you're on in Calgary. On the more affluent west side there are dozens popping up... everywhere.
