This was the plan the whole time!
So downtown Indy isn’t the crime ridden h3llhole that Starbuck’s and a lot of commenters that don’t live down here tried to tell us?!?
I suspect the closure might have had to do more with anti-union actions. That seems to be more in line with Starbucks corporate philosophy of opening and closing stores.
Bingo Dan!
The problem is that the state of Indiana has no interest in funding the low barrier shelter that Indianapolis studied and planned.
But lots of people complain about the homeless, but don’t seem to be as upset when plans to do something about it get buried.
Starbucks cited CRIME. Have you been attending Joe’s meetings or what?
Tony Katz is absolutely sobbing right now
Why??
The panhandling and homelessness was rediculious on Monument Circle.
Clutching his pearls, for sure.
Oh god, not a couple people with signs scaring away people who can’t even spell ridiculous. The horror!
You know what, I totally get it. The panhandlers would scare me too if I couldn’t read their signs. They might be satanic or have a chapter of a banned novel.
The panhandlers and homeless were also harassing people. The
police were being called out to that location frequently.
It wasn’t your money or capital at stake so it it is easy to be dismissive.
Keith B, check the link to the article about last year’s store closing. Starbucks never reached out to police or other city officials about any concerns. Corporate put out a blanket statement about closings in multiple cities without any details or actual examples of problems. The fact that they’re now opening a new store a block away demonstrates it was a sham.
I plan to patronize Command Coffee’s new place on Monument Circle, and won’t set foot in the new Starbucks.
+1
Good, Ed. Makes more room for me and my friends.
I’m so glad to hear that Starbucks will be in a safe location, unlike the location a block away that was so dangerous they had to leave.
It’s not about safety. Never was.
Gotta look closer at these issues, never trust their PR.
Agreed.
Starbucks had long standing locations in the Westin, the Marriott, and the JW Marriott it has also apparently closed, which further suggests the Monument Circle closure was not just about safety, if it ever was.
Correction, the JW Marriott Starbucks is still open.
The “licensed” locations IMO have way less quality control than the actual corporate run locations.
Not that Starbucks is some coffee nirvana, but I avoid their licensed locations at all costs.
I’ve found the differences have gotten smaller over the past few years. Example – airport Starbucks have become more consistent in my experience.
Can you get better coffee elsewhere? Yeah. But it’s consistent enough and the online ordering is a big plus.
Why does Starbucks get such an amazing amount to press? It’s a coffee shop for crying out loud.
It’s because Starbucks such a huge chain whose clientele demographics are well known. Starbucks is a real estate market indicator.
It’s “news” because it fits the preset agenda. All is well in the Hogsett/Carson utopia! Don’t look behind the curtain! Cops Bad!
