Starbucks To Expand Cafes That Sell Alcohol, Probably Never In PA

Starbucks is already a go-to spot when you need a caffeine fix, but what if you need something a little … heavier? According to Reuters, the national coffee chain will begin selling beer and wine in some of its chain stores in California, Illinois, and Georgia. Alcohol is already sold at some of the company’s Washington and Oregon locations, where beers are $5 each, and a glass of wine goes for $7 to $9.

According to senior vice president of U.S. Operations Clarice Turner, “the company wishes to create a ‘warm and inviting place” for customers to come and “unwind and connect with the people they care about.’” The plan is also to start selling “premium ” foods such as small plates, thereby morphing Starbucks into more or less a very busy, variable-quality, tapas place.

Only time will tell how far Starbucks will expand this idea, but we can pretty much count Pennslyvania out. We know all too well of our archaic liquor laws tendency to stop things that are legal in most states from happening here.

    You mean Starbucks is going to become Cosi in a few markets.

    Press releases don’t connect the dots for you, and it looks like PA’s just fine with the way Cosi operates.
