What is it about overpriced coffee that is so appealing?
My neice that lives around safford loves Starbucks. I on the other hand think it is to strong.
Though on the Starbucks Fact finder I did locate a franchise in Willcox.

Probobly since it is on the freeway it can support such a specialty store.

First of all i need to make this very clear...if someone SERVES Starbucks coffee that doesnt make them a Starbucks. the only reason why i am searching so desperately to find one is because i worked at a Starbucks in tucson. It was the best experience i have ever had. Believe me, i have worked at all sorts of government jobs (growing up in Northern Virginia) and high income possitions. I would give up everything to be able to work there again. PLUS: The atcual Starbucks store makes there coffee so much different than any other place (even those starbucks found in Safeways).

I have been writing in the Starbucks forums over and over trying to get a REAL Starbucks out here in Safford.

Unfortunetly it seems to be bad timing, since now i am reading that they are downsizing...which really makes my heart hurt.

You see, it may just be "over-priced, too-strong" coffee to you, but to me it was a place i loved and a place i belonged. I took pride in serving that coffee and making sure everyone's day was a little brighter because of it. I had friends there and knowledge that people sought out...i miss that everyday.

I am about 2 bad job experiences away from just patitioning my butt off to get one here. I would gladly manage it with all my heart, be there late everyday, early everyday, if needed...just remember before you go talking badly about it, that its a meeting place. A place that people can hangout in, thats clean and the people are genuinly nice. The service is awesome (we are taught that way) and if anything is EVER made wronge or doesnt taste right...we will re-make it until it does taste right.

Its a great company and i was proud to be a part of it. I would give my first born son to be a part of it again. (just kidding)

Hey! Maybe the REAL, stand-alone Starbucks they'll be closing in Eloy ('twixt August '08 and February '09) will be shipped over to Safford!

There were plans to open a Starbucks in Safeway when they opened the new store....but that seems to be on ice.

I figure that the local LDS folks petitioned it to stay away since they take a stand against coffee.

Just kidding...they wouldn't do something like that .....would they???
