Hwy 329 & I 71, Crestwood, Kentucky

OPENED: 6/29/2007, PHOTO: 6/10/2008

This store has a cool dsiplay celebrating the area and its people. I believe I was told that the manager's grandfather is one of the men in the old photo.

I imagine they have rolled out the tables to all the store by now, but this was the first store where I saw, in late 2002, one of those tables designed for wheelchair access.

This store has a super-cool feature that is not immediately obvious. On the wall immediately to the right upon entering is a photograph of a coffee plantation, with a shadow of a hot air ballon. That photo comes from corporate, and blends in with the other corporate photos on the wall. But directly opposite the plantation photo, across the room, is a black and white drawing of a hot air balloon. The idea, of course, is that the shadow in the photograph is that shadow of the ballon in the illustration!

The door to this location opens into a really cool octagonal space... I half expected ninjas to come crashing down. Towards the back of the store, a long window is partly covered by a large, wide, x-shaped cross beam whose purpose escapes me still.

It's hard to tell from this outside shot, but inside the store is unusually shaped.

This is another one of the few stores built inside what used to be a bank. Besides using the vault as an extra-private conference room, the extra rooms available will be used for a training center and an office for the district manager. Up until this point, I had never really thought about where the DMs hid out when not making the rounds.

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My Starbucking rule regarding store ownership are complicated and will be explained fully in my as-yet-unpublished book, but here are the basics.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.
