Starbucks: Not with a Bang, but a Whimper
The majority of this cafe information is dated to 2008 and is not entirely accurate. 2 04 2009There will be fewer baristas slinging powdered, non-fat, mocha frappuccinos with processed whipped cream in Richmond, as the Aberdeen Centre’s Starbucks is the first to shut down in Canada.
You might remember Starbucks announcing the elimination of 100 cafes nationally last January. Well happy April Fool’s Day, this Starbucks is out.
Some experts blame the economic downturn others the competition from independent coffee shops. But maybe it’s an overall understanding of high quality coffee.
Perhaps Richmond will be a little less pretentious, but really from what I heard this location was always a little empty and quiet anyway.
Which Starbucks is next on the chopping block?
