There is a nice Starbucks at Satellite and Pleasant Hill that does a nice business but it takes me at least 20 minutes to get there from just a few miles away. I totally agree, people coming from Ronald Reagan going to 85 will use that drive thru every day! It will have very easy access in and out. Those of us who live over here are so excited :-) I have owned a home in the area for 15 years and have watched so many businesses come and go. I have cared for my 4 year old grandchild since birth and I am beside myself with joy over the prospect of a drive through Starbucks ���� I will be customer #1 ♡JavaGrammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10993098952472737071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-82310949845044511152016-01-04T10:45:36.877-05:002016-01-04T10:45:36.877-05:00Krispy Kreme moved because they wanted to have the...Krispy Kreme moved because they wanted to have their own larger building. No one that I know goes to KK for their coffee which is horrible. Folks go to KK for their doughnuts.<br /><br />Starbucks shut down just down from this soon to be location a few years before KK left. The old KK location will be perfect for Starbucks and the position of that drive thru is much better than the old one. I hated the old Starbucks location there. Smart move and YES they will have plenty of people from growing Snellville, etc that access 85 from that side.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-34098140263163020682016-01-01T14:31:51.508-05:002016-01-01T14:31:51.508-05:00There is some hotel traffic for Sonesta but that&#...There is some hotel traffic for Sonesta but that's the only other reason I can think. There is a reason Krispy Kreme moved to the OTHER side of 85 leaving a perfectly fine building good enough for Starbucks... the traffic didn't support the location. All the office building traffic is over there where KK is now not where they used to be.ImAndynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-13337113846049455112016-01-01T06:13:47.595-05:002016-01-01T06:13:47.595-05:00While I’m also a little confused why they would op...While I’m also a little confused why they would open a business in this area I suspect the drive-thru is the key. I assume they are hoping to catch commuters heading to I-85 from Ronald Regan Parkway and the greater Lilburn/Mountain Park/Snellville area. The big question is will there be enough business throughout the rest of the day to keep them open. <br /> <br />Hamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-85888510129940816352016-01-01T00:50:39.944-05:002016-01-01T00:50:39.944-05:00This is so weird Moes was a block away in the old ...This is so weird Moes was a block away in the old Hardee's just two years ago. I also question starbucks moving to this side of 85 all the offices are on the opposite side and nobody (myself included) want to get hung up in the diamond interchange just to go to Starbucks. I stop at the existing starbucks next to Einstein at least 3 times a week. All the office buildings by NCR are on the opposite side of 85.

It has been many years since we have had one with a drive thru anywhere in the area. We've really missed the one that was near there-I hope it succeeds, I've lived close by for 15 years and the area has really gone downhill. I think it will do well there if folks can just pull through and it's right next to a nice Chickfila. I'm thrilled to learn that, thanks for sharing! 😂 👍 👏 JavaGrammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10993098952472737071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-67467823675919512732015-12-31T09:45:12.910-05:002015-12-31T09:45:12.910-05:00I've been told by a source that some sort of a...I've been told by a source that some sort of a home/antique store is going into the old Bridge location.
