Starbucks in Athens

Alps and Baxter, Athens, Georgia

Athens, Athens, Georgia
	OPENED: ???, PHOTO: 7/29/2002 This is one of my favorite stores, in part because I love the college town atmosphere, and also because R.E.M. is from Athens, and also because it's just a great store, with two stores and plenty of eclectic artwork on display each time I've visited. The last time I saw these custom Starbucks-themed silk prints by Rene D. Shoemaker. I don't know if they are still there, but you can view her works at http://www.coffeecuppress.com Oh, and don't let me forget the cool customer photo display! Article

Licenced Stores
My Starbucking rule regarding store ownership are complicated and will be explained fully in my as-yet-unpublished book, but here are the basics. If Starbucks has a proper company in a country, such as Starbucks United States or Starbucks United Kingdom, then I only count stores operated, in whole or in part (sometimes there are partnerships) by Starbucks. In these countries, stores operated under license by other companies do not count. In most countries, however, Starbucks operates stores in a joint venture with another company (such as Tata in India) or licenses the brand to a primary (exclusive or semi-exclusive) partner, such as Alsea in Latin America and western Europe or Al-Shaya in the Middle East). In such cases I visit stores operated by those primary licensees, but not stores licensed to secondary licensees such as SSP or HMSHost. Additionally, in the U.K. and France, Starbucks franchises to a small set of companies, and I do not count those stores. Finally, note that some stores listed below might have closed down.
