Starbucks looks to expand

Anyone who frequents the local Starbucks shop on Commercial Avenue knows that it is a very busy place. Rumors of expansion have been floating for many months, but now the word on the street is there will be action sooner than later. With the neighboring Sprint store gone, it is reported that a move to incorporate that space may begin as early as next month. Walls will come down and the two will become one. Starbucks is a tenant, not owner of the building. In a related development, Starbucks’ landlord has applied for a permit to create new parking space immediately to the west of the drive-through window. Another Anacortes retail adventure!
