Starbucks in Kansas City



PLEASE NOTE
The stores pictured below are labeled with information that comes directly from the official Starbucks web site. The only alterations I have made are to remove certain punctuation marks. Please do not report any errors in the names or spellings of streets or cities to me, but rather to Starbucks. Once they fix the error on their end, my database will pick it up. I will fill missing photograph dates as I have time, and I will continue to try and obtain store opening dates.


135th & State Line

Though ordinary from outside, this newer Kansas store, besides sporting a newer design concept, is one of the first I can remember seeing with (corporate) artwork and decorative tile in the bathroom.

50th & Chipman, Lees Summit

OPENED: ?, PHOTO: 24 May 2002

After all the interviews I've given during which I profess that all Starbucks do not look alike, I've been paying closer attention to their unique elements. In this case, everything looks standard except for the way that a corporate painting is framed by an entire section of wall.
