I would be very suspicious of the reason being TV would not
renew the lease. It is more likely the costs of doing business, i.e. the rising cost of coffee....and it is just beginning to go up. There is a point where even Starbucks fans will draw the line. In addition, there are far too many Starbucks stores in a given area. As well as the significant number of alternative sources for getting good coffee.
Remember Starbucks gets at least 15% of all the retail sales of a given store.
My opinion.
