I guess this means they're liking the stats they see about DTK recovering from the pandemic? Anecdotally it's busier than ever.
I recall reading, perhaps even on this forum, that they never actually left the location (i.e. maintaining the lease, equipment, etc) and would likely reopen in the future. I guess whoever wrote that was telling the truth, and Starbucks never intended to leave.
I did post on Reddit that I thought they'd be back, maybe I posted here too. I was walking by months after they closed and noticed my phone auto connected to Starbucks WiFi, meaning they still had equipment there, but that got shutoff earlier this year. I hadn't seen anything from anyone with insider info, and the WiFi isn't the strongest indicator.
Would love to know what went down internally.
