Starbucks in Citygate!

[Icebot]

This is one thing I'm looking forward to having around in Citygate - a Starbucks coffee shop coming soon!

Star! Welcome to TC! and heard that the deli will relocate to the shops under TC crescent, so we can have both now!

are you saying delifrance is going into the aviator space? 

[darky]

Sorry Starbucks if you had of been here earlier I would be excited, but my alliance in TC is now with Pacific Coffee 

[peregrin]

A perfect space for a new bar with plenty of outside sitting area and good foot traffic--oh well

Exactly my reaction.

The seemingly irresistable allure of Starbucks mystifies me. The fact that it will be occupying space that could have been taken by a more useful business - a nice pub with good food, for example - just compounds my disappointment.

[charles]

hey at least it's not another centaline or midland! 

[CCCL]

Always looking on the bright side Charles - I admire that 

[peregrin]

The complete lack of imagination concerning our version of Tiananmen Square is mystifying. I suppose Swire's target market in City Gate (crossboarder shopping trips) justifies the bland brands, but what of the vast open space past the fountain---zero chairs/tables for sitting out in nice weather (maybe even sipping a cool one--God forbid).
