Starbucks in Kansas City

PUT DOWN THE PLASTIC

PLEASE NOTE
The stores pictured below are labeled with information that comes directly from the official Starbucks web site. The only alterations I have made are to remove certain punctuation marks. Please report any naming errors directly to Starbucks. Once they fix the error on their end, my database will pick it up. However, if you know any of the opening/closing dates I am missing, please send them to me.


135th & State Line
	OPENED: 17 March 2006, PHOTO: 24 March 2006 Though ordinary from outside, this newer Kansas store, besides sporting a newer design concept, is one of the first I can remember seeing with (corporate) artwork and decorative tile in the bathroom.

50th & Chipman, Lees Summit
	OPENED: ?, PHOTO: 24 May 2002 After all the interviews I've given during which I profess that all Starbucks do not look alike, I've been paying closer attention to their unique elements. In this case, everything looks standard except for the way that a corporate painting is framed by an entire section of wall.
