Wave Bye-Bye to Starbucks

Six Central Kentucky stores are among the 600 Starbucks locations closing around the country.

Hard to believe that the Frankfort Starbucks is staying open while the Starbucks at Euclid and Upper near UK in downtown Lexington is closing, but that's what the list says.

Two stores in Louisville, and one each in Danville, Paris and Somerset are also getting the ax.

  • 11753 S DANVILLE BYPASS & BRENDA 3491 S DANVILLE BYPASS DANVILLE KY 
  • 10910 EUCLID & UPPER 535 S UPPER ST LEXINGTON KY
  • 10779 HUBBARDS & WESTPORT 285 N HUBBARDS LN LOUISVILLE KY
  • 10870 POPLAR LEVEL & HESS 3009 POPLAR LEVEL RD LOUISVILLE KY
  • 11512 HWY 68 & PARIS BYPASS 320 LETTON DR PARIS KY
  • 11755 HWY 27 & JEFFERSON 2049 S HWY 27 SOMERSET KY

I'm reasonably sure that it's because they're trying to retain maximum coverage--I know Frankfort's closest starbucks after this one is in Louisville's east end. Of course, that would make the Danville et al stores prime candidates to stay open.

Maybe they were drinking?
