Starbucks Strips Down

According to the Seattle Times, the 15th Avenue Starbucks, up on Capitol Hill, is part of an ambitious makeover project the company's exploring that will leave the store stripped of the Starbucks name altogether (if you read CHS, you heard about the makeover in the comments a month ago). The store will be renamed for the neighborhood, lose the traditional Starbucks branding, and will even start serving wine and beer. The remodeled store will be re-opening next week.
