Do we have a Starbucks in Middletown? I don't think so. Based on recent reports, we probably never will.
Check out these recent headlines: Starbucks plans to close 300 more shops as profit drops - by Matt Andrejczak Starbucks not providing revenue, earnings guidance - MarketWatch Starbucks to eliminate around 6,000 positions - MarketWatch Starbucks plans to cut 700 non-store partners - MarketWatch Starbucks to cut new store openings target in U.S. to 140 - MarketWatch I wonder how Kidd Coffee in Middletown is doing? ------------- http://www.johnbeagle.com/" rel="nofollow - John Beagle Middletown USA News of, for and by the people of Middletown, Ohio. |

I believe there is a Starbucks within the east end Kroger location.
Local coffee shops seem to be struggling, despite being very nice places.
Come on people--support your local coffee shops!
Though it is kinda crazy to pay $3-$4 for a candied cup of milk and coffee.

Yeah there is a smal company owned Kiosk in Krogers. The Heck with Kroger and Starbucks support you small independent businesses in Middletown.
