slo’s WEDNESDAY 7/31 poll - Starbucks In Grocery Stores ☕️

[Dan Murphy]

Marie says there is a Starbucks in the nearby Target. I don't go there, she doesn't buy coffee there or any Starbucks. There is not another what I woukd call real nearby, maybe 1.5 miles. The nearby Jewel does not and neither do the nearby Mariano's. I really don't go in the stores, I use Walmart pickup almost exclusively. That earlier mentioned Starbucks is about .5 miles from the Walmart. I will periodically visit that SB drive through.

The Kroger I frequent has a Starbucks. It’s been there for years. I don’t drink coffee and the store already meets my needs, so I really don’t care either way. I don’t think that the location gets everything offered in a standard Starbucks, but there are at least two of those within a mile or two of the house if someone really wants to try something.

The only Starbucks in a supermarket I can think of around here is in a Target’s. Normally, they are stand alone stores.

 

[georgina]

There is a Starbucks in one of the grocery stores near me (Safeway), but not the one I shop at most (Aldi). There is a Starbucks in my local Target also, and yes there is one across the parking lot from there. I rarely go to Starbucks, mostly when traveling or if I have some points to use up from those travel purchases!

 

[RedAngie]

There is a Starbucks in my local Acme market but I’ve never purchased anything there. Neither have I patronized the Starbucks in Target.

There are stand alone Starbucks where I sometimes buy iced coffee or other cold drinks.

There's one in our grocery store, but I've never bought anything there. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've been inside a Starbucks.

 

[Wood Nymph]

The Jewel grocery store that is closest to us has a Starbucks inside the store. They used part of the liquor department for Starbucks. But there aren't any stand alone Starbucks near that store. There is a Mariano's grocery store about 1-1/2 miles away which has a Starbucks inside the store and a stand alone Starbucks across the street.

My local Safeway has a Starbucks. The closest stand-alone SB is half a mile away.

We had a grocery store SB before we had a stand-alone store.

I avoid Starbucks for the most part - I almost always make my own coffee at home.
I spent a fair amount of money on a super automatic espresso machine and it has more than paid for itself over the last 10 years.

Cant imagine spending $5 or $6 a day for Starbucks coffee.

The only exception is when I am in Universal. I refuse to use the coffee maker in the room...and I usually don't have the time as I am trying to get over to the parks. I have been considering a portable coffee maker that uses Nespresso pods or ground coffee.

Don't drink coffee but our local grocery store has a Starbucks selling those pricey coffee drinks that seem popular. Funny thing is across the street from the grocery store Starbucks recently opened a stand-alone building selling the same things. Wonder how long before they put each other out of business?

I shop at Shoprite and very rarely Acme (Philly area) and no Starbucks in either. They Acme and the Starbucks are on the same main road a few miles apart from each other and there is a Starbucks kind of in the middle. I've never been inside and I've lived here 5 years. But I don't drink coffee and DH doesn't like Starbucks so we really have no reason to go there.

 

[tvguy]

. We don’t have a stand alone close by, so it does get busy.

LOL. You may live in one of the few places in the U.S without a Starbucks every few blocks.

I’m surprised they don’t have a stand alone closer too! However, we have 2 Krogers with Starbucks inside less than 4 miles from each other.

Not to mention the Biggby coffee less than 2 miles away.

Our Target has a Starbucks in it but our grocery stores have Caribou Coffee which I prefer anyways.

I live in Dunkin's land, so I couldn't tell you where my nearest stand-alone Starbucks is.

There is one in the Target I go to, but it's not local, and not where I typically grocery shop. I think I've probably bought a snack there in the past, but usually walk right by.

We got our first Dunkin about 2 years ago. Still haven't been. Had lots of Dunkin coffee, a lot of gas stations sold it long before Dunkin actually opened here. Not impressed with their donuts, but only had them at airports, so certainly not the best place to judge them.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I go to ShopRite most of the time for 'big' shopping. I usually get a bottle of sweet peach iced tea to drink while I shop. I pay for it, of course.

 

[mommasita]

No target stores here. I can’t think of any grocery stores with anything like that here at all. I know there is one store with a small eat- in area (sort of like Costco) but nothing specific for coffee or the like.
When we are in Florida my husband will sometimes get himself a coffee there, he likes his Tim’s here at home. I am sure he goes more than I know, but that’s another topic . I drink tea, no coffee.

 

[MillauFr]

My local grocery store, HyVee, does have a Starbucks. As does the local Target. I do not buy coffee when shopping - I am far too uncoordinated for that. And, Starbucks sucks, IMO. Give me Caribou or nothing. And, we have 2 Starbucks standalones within a mile of these stores.

Yeah in Minnesota why on earth wouldn't they partner with Caribou? Starbucks should be inside a McDonalds.

 

[LoveDaisy]

I shop at ShopRite, stop and shop, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and occasionally big y or price chopper. None have a Starbucks in them. Stop and shop has a Dunkin’ Donuts.

Grocery stores are more regional than I thought because I have not been to most of the ones mentioned in this thread.
