STARBUCKS TO OPEN IN CROSSVILLE, FINALLY
Crossville News First broke the story about Starbucks coming to Crossville back in March. Management told us there were plans for a Starbucks opening up in the Kroger store here soon, possibly by May. Three months later, it appears the super coffee maker is finally going to be opening up by August 4th. We’ve been told the Starbucks will be a full service kiosk offering a full menu. Nationally, Kroger’s profits have been suffering in many markets and has closed some stores down. Corporate is hoping adding Starbucks will generate more traffic in the stores. Starbucks partnered with Kroger years ago and is in many of the supermarkets already.
