Starbucks Opens Ferguson Location


(FERGUSON, Mo.) — Starbucks has opened its first store in Ferguson, Missouri, as part of a national push to help lower-income communities.

In a statement, Starbucks said it was planning “to provide local jobs, create training opportunities for youth, and support efforts to rebuild and revitalize communities” in at least 15 other new locations in low-to-medium-income communities in the U.S. by 2018.

“We have always seen investments in the communities where Starbucks partners live and serve as investments in our business and brand,” said Rodney Hines, Starbucks director of Community Investments for U.S. Retail Operations, in a statement. “As we got to know the Ferguson community over the last year, we heard incredible stories of strength, empathy and understanding. We also heard loud and clear the need for business leadership and investment in the form of new jobs and training opportunities, particularly for young people.”

Ferguson Mayor James Knowles III said the city was “grateful to Starbucks.”

They are probably rolling the dice, being a big chain and all.

If the local youth trash the place, they still got a lot of good publicity showing "they care". The rest of the world applauds and buys big lattes as a way of saying thanks. Also, big tax write off.

Makes sense. Sacrifice one store to better the brand name. They are liberal, after all. They do employ the folks with degrees who would otherwise be non employable. Liberal arts? Start tomorrow.

My response to Starbucks is "Who gives a fuck?"
