There's also the St. Louis Coffee Oasis just down the street. When that guy calls me "my friend," I actually believe him.

Wow, that one on Watson is a new ground-up build that's been open less than a year.

Reminds me of that drive through one on 7th (Koskiusko) that lasted maybe a year around 2009/2010.

Yeah, that is absolutely nuts. Sales must be abysmal. No clue why'd they'd open up & close so soon. Somebody needs to get fired over that. They probably got the land for super cheap considering it was a vacant lot forever.

I figured the loop one did pretty well.

I’m kinda shocked the loop one was considered underperforming…seemed always slammed

Delmar Loop has had an infusion of local coffee and boba tea shops so maybe traffic had gone down and local places were winning out and Starbucks saw the shift

Might be a "the rent is too damn high!" thing.

Was either Starbucks unionized? If so, that's probably a lot of the reason right there.

No. Neither were union.

Reminds me of when the Wydown Business District Starbucks closed. I doubt there was a busier Sbux in all of St. Louis.
