So Starbucks announced that it is closing 600 underperforming stores that opened in the last two years. That no doubt sent shockwaves up my spine. You don't know how serious some of us here in the catacombs are about our caffeine. That said, on the positive side for Lawton, most of the stores to close will be located near other Starbucks according to a corporate statement. Our new Starbucks location is indeed not very far from the Cache Road location. On the other hand, urbanites know that in big-city downtowns, Starbucks are virtually across the street from each other, so we wonder if these are the targets. Be that as it may, we have noticed that the Sheridan Road location is much less crowded than the Cache Road location. It is also located between CiCi's, Dollar Tree and a cheap shoe store, hardly a place you expect to see Starbucks. Be that as it may, we feel secure the Cache Road location will survive and give the Sheridan location 50-50 odds of surviving.
