That IS funny, but it doesn't make sense. Around here at least, the line at Starbucks has never been longer.

Don't like that it's COVID fall out, but it's not a terrible thing if a bunch of new condition BMW's hit the used market at the same time. I could take in another one if the price is right.

Can’t even remember when I stepped into a Starbucks last. When I ride solo or with a few buds, we do a pre or post ride coffee at a local family owned coffee shops - where they know about the coffee they sell and are not mere bean-counters

Looks like many BMW bikes will soon be off the road with nowhere to ride.

Yes yes! We love all bikes - but just couldn’t resist!

That is almost nothing. Drop in the bucket. Considering there are well over 1400 stores in Canada and 15,149 stores in the US that is less than .4% of all stores closing.

I have a $10 Starbucks gift card that someone gave me years ago, guess I better use it ASAP Incase they close. Besides the outrageous prices I never cared much for Starbucks coffee. Around here the best coffee is Kwik Trip gas stations and then McDonald’s.

I would imagine this just an opportunity to lean out their operations in areas where they have too many stores in close proximity. Probably every major city has Starbucks directly across the street from another Starbucks, with some having another another Starbucks.

All those silly BMW's, everyone knows a Tenere is the best tool to go off-roading at Starbucks

Kwik Trip, QT, and Race Trac, I think are the same place(s). You're right they have gooood coffee. Another great source, although much lesser known, is Braum's. But, they're only in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri. Their coffee machines, grind, and brew the coffee as you order it. That all being said, my Keurig is my favorite.

I'm in the same boat with the gift card. Got it years ago, might even be expired.

surprise I guess it doesn’t expire or loose value I’ve checked a bunch of times. Just Now put it back in my wallet With plans to take the one hundred mile ride to Starbucks and finally finish using it, maybe tomorrow.
