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.
My guess is that the penalties for breaking the lease were very high, so they tried to sublet instead. And since that didn't work out ...
No, Starbucks is rarely the highest-quality coffee. They do have a very consistent product, though, with lots of variety including foods -- and a loyal clientele. Reactivating the PUC building makes me super happy though!
