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.

Buffalo Gap & Hwy. 83, Abilene

THE FIRST STORE IN WEST TEXAS!!!

It's spacious and pretty enough, but I am disappointed that, despite being build in a old bank, the vault was taken out. Winter likes vaults. Vaults are gooooood.

This first store in the Texas panhandle makes for a nice pit stop between Dallas and either Albuquerque or Denver. No longer need I drive 10-11 hours without Starbucks!

I'm told this is the second busiest store in a region that includes Houston. Like the Green Goblin said to Spider-Man... "impressive!"

With a billboard 7 miles south of the store along the one of the major U.S. highways in Texas, this store offers a another pit stop along long drive from D/FW to Amarillo (and Denver beyond that).

This first store in Lubbock was a pleasant surprise, different than the strip mall location I expected. It was build in a former car wash. The arches are a nice touch.

This location is fairly unusual for two reasons. First, the tile behind the counter is in the Texas Tech colors. Also, it shares an open wall with a bank, Plainview something or another I think.

This store is dedicated to Natalie Maines.

I WAS THE FIRST CUSTOMER AT THIS STORE!!!

But enough about me, check out the cool facade. How much is a remnant of the Colter's BBQ that used to occupy the building I don't know. But I'm sure one thing that's new is the elevated seating area towards the front next to the large window, sectioned off by a curved railing. I like it.

This store is actually 60 miles northeast of Austin, and, to my knowledge, the first store in Texas outside one of the four major metroplexes (Houston, D/FW, Austin, San Antonio). Click on the links to see photos of the billboards advertising its presence. If there are any other such billboards anywhere else in the country, I don't recall seeing them thus far in my travels.

First Temple, and now Waco. Starbucks in Texas is finally expanding beyond the major metroplexes. This is good, because the 200 or so miles between the last-stop Dallas and Austin stores were pretty hard to bear for a die-hard coffee drinker like me.

What I noticed at this store was that the open ceiling was grayish instead of the usual brown. The cushions on the bench and chairs were also grayish. And while it was not gray, the coffee table was of a style I'd never seen before. Once again, and interesting mixture of common and unique elements.
