I imagine that Starbucks has a formula they use to determine if a location is worth it, and it doesn't surprise me that they would look at the pedestrian volumes at this corner, and say that a location here would need a drive through (or plentiful, convenient parking) to make it work.

It's not to say that a coffee shop wouldn't work.  It's to say that Starbucks would not meet their desired sales volumes for a new expansion location.

Look for new Starbucks in both the King Victoria Hub (2-4 years out) and in the Zehrs' property development across the street from GOOGLE offices (also 2-4 years out) ... 

FYI a new express service model Starbucks opened this week at Toronto's Union Station so this may also be contender once they figure out the traffic needed to pay rent and salaries in 2018 or ...

You'd have to think that this is the type of location where they would want to be if nowhere else.  But maybe it's just me?
