Default Villages Starbucks ......gone

Starbucks has posted their closing list.

http://www.starbucks.com/aboutus/USStoreClosureInfo.pdf

The Villages store is on page 5.
Store# 13496 Store Name: BUFFALO RIDGE
Address: 4046 WEDGEWOOD LN THE VILLAGES FL

I thought they were doing good business.

No big surprise...you can't open one on every block in the development, book store or shop willing to pay to have their product.

Zero exclusivity is BS for the operator.

Another small company that did well with tremendous growth then lost it's mind and values when they all became rich enough to not care about their store owners success.

Unfortunately the closures affect the individual operators more than the company.

Greed has a way of sorting out the excessives.

My husband is so glad it's not the one at LSL. He loves taking his golf cart down there for his grande.

I am really shocked. I thought they were doing a good business. That is where I went when I went to Wal-Mart.

I believe the only one that is closing is the buffalo ridge one...Starbucks has planned to close several stores across the country....just the economy....

Hey Bucco, when chels gets you all hot and bothered, just remember..she's married to a Republican!! See, she's balanced. 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl
Bucco, I know chels and when she is "blasting" you on this forum, she's not really blasting you. She is laughing and just having fun. She is serious about her topics, but none of her posts are meant to hurt anyone. She's a humorous, take no prisoners kind of gal and I just love her. If you get to know her, you will, too.
Uhoh... :cop:Maybe you two could meet at a Starbucks that has not closed. :joke:
