Starbucks lists 12 stores it's closing in S. Fla.

Good Ridance

Who thought it was a good idea to put one in Lauderdale Lakes? Lol.

Uh the coral square mall is in coral springs. This paper needs a new editor, or did you lay him off also.

11 W Broward Blvd? Isn't that the central bus terminal? Bet that place did a helluva business.

Fill in the blank:

Who gives a __________

not me!

PBG got hit hard with their stores closing. Homeowners who went into foreclosures, visited those shops on a regualar basis when they had jobs. When the people left the area, it was just a matter of time for these shops to close up as well. Wait for all those restaurants next to close up at Legacy Place and Downtown Gardens mall. Abacoa and PBG will be a ghost town in the years to come. The ones left behind will be picking up the slack of the taxes that the local politicians would need for their expensive tastes that they desire..

F - Starbucks! F - their coffee! I'll drink Cold Gold! It makes you old before your time!

1100 W. Broward Blvd.

If you're going to report, at least report correct info. It's not that hard to double-check an address before you hit the GO button.

Hire me as an editor.

That's it? I thought they were closing 600 stores across the COUNTY.

Ever see a Republican in starbucks?

just wondering.

The store in Lauderdale Lakes was never busy for a number of years. It's amazing it remained opened this long - good or bad economy. There's absolutely no reason to go to that particular Starbucks as the adjacent mall has all but died.
The downtown Fort Lauderdale store was too difficult to get into since the traffic and lack of parking made it onnerous to access. Bad locations for both.

What's so special about Sturbucks' coffee anyway.

Maybe the editor for this story didn't have any coffee this morning.

It cannot be the one at the corner of US1 and Broward Blvd. Are they closing the store near Andrews and Broward.

I'm still waiting for the one in my neighborhood, lol. As for the rest of them, sounds like their "upselling" tactic didn't work out.

If you need coffee to get your motor going in the morning...you need more sleep ass---One less dependency is a good thing!

I am feeling so sad. Hey, what about a Tim Horton's coffee? It' great coffee? Any buyers out there? I am addicted to Tim Horton's coffee, I would go there everday.

Heeey, smoke weed instead:

My heart is bleeding. That's 600 fewer stores where I can walk in, order a "small" coffee, and have some snotty 22 year old who calls himself a "barrista" look me in the eye, with all seriousness, and say "do you mean a 'grande'" or a "tall" or whatever they call it in their pseudo french nonsense that they speak over there. just give me a freakin small coffee you snotty little punk before I jump across the counter and choke you with your own stupid apron. morons. if they'd just let people order in English, and pay a fair price for a cup of coffee, they wouldn't be shuttering stores left and right. how many dunkin donuts do you hear of closing? maybe one or two here or there, but not 600. I have two words for you....bye bye.

Oh noes! Where will all the idiot students spending $4 bucks for a tall cappuccino that's half full of foam go to show off their books and laptops now?!?
