Well, it's (sort of) practical. Those two are at the intersection of W. Grey and Shepherd and (because of the way the properties are setup) it's hard to turn left across traffic if you're going in the opposite direction because the driveways are so close to the intersection you usually have to turn left and through traffic which is waiting at the light. I guess Starbucks decided to open two across from each other to catch traffic going in both directions.
I don't think Houston has the most per square mile BUT Houston does have two that are across the street from each other!!
Haha, gotta love it! One for eastbound traffic on West Gray, the other for westbound traffic. Now you can have your frapuccino without ever having to make a U-turn!
^^^ What's strange is it works b/c both have had steady business for nearly 10 years...
That was a pretty smart move then. You ever notice how if you see a McDonalds your bound to see a Burger King around the same area? Always competing lol.

The Kroger's in my area has one, then the Target right across the street on the other side has one, and right in front of the target is another... 3 in like one block... I don't understand the point of there being three of them that close to each other. LOL, but whatever works.

Haha. Funny but true. It's quite common in NJ to see many different chains doing this kind of thing. But NJ has a lot of highways where left and u turns are prohibited (except by using jughandles), so you almost HAVE to have a separate store to capture each direction of traffic.
