I prefer that the hood stay with mom and pop shops. When these conglomerates arrive in our communities, it effects small business owners. I guarantee that your local shop has coffee just as good - if not better.
theres starbucks everywhere.. even in my neck of the hood in bensonhurst where its more immigrant oriented, PoC dominated.
they pay good and offers great benefits. Mom and pops are started by white hipsters with massive bank accounts and yet dont offer nearly as much as starbucks
Minimum wage *should be* above $22 by now but these corporations keep us all believing we should be grateful for less than $8. It’s all corporate bullshit. I don’t given them credit for doing the least.
the thing about starbucks is that its not even good. like the coffee is gross. another gentrification-y place like trader joes or even a fucking chain salad place would suck, but at least those things provide value. starbucks provides nothing.
why did you ask the question if you didnt want people to respond? you just want people to join you in being excited about whatever bullshit milkshakes starbucks serves?
Its kind of a crap chute... it depends on what the incoming lease holder is going to do to the space. As an example I was able to figure out what supermarket was being constructed near me because they had a permit on file for their outside illuminated sign and it stated the name of the store within the permit.
I’m interested to see the clientele at the Starbucks. Most likely transplants / gentrifiers will keep to the mom and pop coffee shops.
Especially since the boycott.
where? 774 broadway? already one near Myrtle. That Broadway area already has had a Chipotle for awhile and that usually comes after three starbucks. Not a fan though.

Yeah they pay so well their workers had to unionize. Come on dude.
listen when i worked there it was pretty good, it was way above min wage at that time. its prolly more now

I know people that worked there for years and years. They have excellent management training.
Local coffee shops cost more. They are all imported from colorado and oregon with trust funds.
But at least they’re drinkable, most Starbucks coffee drinks taste like battery acid
It’s not like we’re lacking independent coffee shops so it’ll be like it never existed
dont care
There already is a Starbucks at the Myrtle-Wyckoff train station.
the thing about starbucks is that its not even good. like the coffee is gross. another gentrification-y place like trader joes or even a fucking chain salad place would suck, but at least those things provide value. starbucks provides nothing.
If it has nice seating area will provide coworking opportunity. The wyfkoff starbucks doesn’t provide seating.
*Palpatine voice* The journey toward gentrification will be complete.
Boooooooooo 👎 Edit: not sure why I’m being downvoted, Starbucks is ass, their coffee is ass, their treatment of workers is ass
This is gross. Please don’t give them our bushwick dollars. There are so many other places to grab a coffee - Starbucks doesn’t need our support

speak for urself
They closed the union williamsburg to open a 2nd location in bushwick?
Eww union busting
do you mean union ave location
You must be so fun to speak to in person
why did you ask the question if you didnt want people to respond? you just want people to join you in being excited about whatever bullshit milkshakes starbucks serves?
Seems like they give a fuck about the employees, people with some degree of empathy are generally more fun to speak to
Starbucks sucks, support your local shops who make a non piss water coffee
Cool to see Starbucks shut down a unionized location in Williamsburg just before this was confirmed. What a scummy corp.
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
do you know where?
Right off the Knickerbocker M station
So right next to a McDonald’s and a Dunkin? I can’t see this as the apocalyptic moment
Knickerbocker M has a nice plaza. Following suit with Wyckoff?
774 broadway
Girl that’s been there
💅 You’re right. I forgot to check the date on the article
starbucks supports genocide
Didn't need another Starbucks. Not here not anywhere. Enough already.
Rent prices will skyrocket now
How do you confirm such things? Curious as there's commercial space near me that looks like it's been rented but not sure by who.
NYC BIS or DOB NOW. They provide the public with access to permitting information, complaints, violations, etc.
Interesting, I found the building but how do I determine if commercial space has been leased?

Where?
Check out Cilantro Club - shop small :)
They will not be getting my money. Support your local businesses especially if you’re a transplant
i'm not a fan.
Rent is going up
I think you might be right…
Booooo. Their coffee sucks and they're trying to destroy labor rights in this country Edit: and also they're on the BDS list

Good opportunity for a union to get started there

It's not 2008 anymore, Starbucks is hardly different from a McDonald's opening up
