Starbucks Plans to Open in South Boston

The global coffee chain Starbucks seems to be located everywhere in the Boston area, but one neighborhood that does not yet have a shop is South Boston. That may soon change, however.

Adam's Hospitality & Tourism Industry Blog reports that Starbucks is going before the Boston Licensing Board this morning, seeking a Common Victualler's License to operate at 11 West Broadway by the Broadway T station. This is the same building that will be home to a new location of Stephanie's--which we reported on a couple of months ago--as well as a number of residential units.

Technically, Starbucks does have locations in South Boston, but their three shops are in the Seaport District (at the Westin Boston Waterfront hotel, the Renaissance Boston Waterfront hotel, and Manulife Financial) rather than in the heart of the South Boston neighborhood that Broadway cuts through.

The address for this planned Starbucks in South Boston is: Starbucks, 11 West Broadway, South Boston, MA, 02127. The website for the chain can be found at http://www.starbucks.com/
