Downtown is about to get a new Starbucks

As I was wandering Beale yesterday afternoon, I took a look down Third Street and noticed that a new Starbucks is going into the ground floor of the Westin Hotel. It’s not open yet, but it looks like it’s not that far away.


If anyone has info on the opening date, let me know. I hope this store keeps regular Starbucks hours (staying open until 10 or 11 at night) and not “downtown” hours (closing at 2 or 3 in the afternoon). It’ll be nice to have a Starbucks in Downtown Memphis that isn’t in the middle of a mall.
