Are you upset the Starbucks in Shavertown is on the list of locations the company plans to close?

Shavertown Starbucks Manager Cordie Braun and the rest of the staff want you to help keep the store open. A sign in the coffee shop urges customers to call the Starbucks customer service number to voice your concerns about the Shavertown store’s closure.

On Monday, I was sitting in the Shavertown Starbucks when I overheard a teenage girl and her mother ask a member of the staff about calling the number. The employee told the two that out of all of the 600 Starbucks set to close, patrons of the Shavertown location have placed the most calls into the company asking to keep their store open.

That’s quite impressive. Will people of the Back Mountain miss their Starbucks that much? Judging by the volume of calls to the company and the number of comments on The Times Leader’s story about the location closing, I’d say so.

Even at 4 p.m. in the afternoon yesterday, closer to dinnertime, the store was booming. It appears to be doing well financially. I understand the chain needs to cut back somewhere- who doesn’t in the current economy- but aren’t there other Starbucks locations doing much worse? Why not target Starbucks in large cities where there is one on every block?

If you want to help save the Shavertown Starbucks, you can call the retail customer service number at 1-800-235-2883.
