Good news for caffeine addicts: Starbucks is opening a new coffee shop in Raleigh this summer.
The 1,000-square-foot location with a drive-thru will be at 7447 Six Forks Road, near Sawmill Road, a Starbucks spokesperson told The News & Observer in an email.
While the coffee shop’s building is new, it is located on the site of a former BB&T bank in the Celebration at Six Forks shopping center. Other businesses there include McDonald’s, Village Dental, Domino’s Pizza, The UPS Store and Dollar General.
Starbucks recently unveiled a new “Pairing Menu,” offering all-day discounts for drink and food combinations. Starting at $5, customers can get a tall iced or hot coffee or tea and a butter croissant. A tall hot or iced coffee or tea with a breakfast sandwich starts at $6. The Seattle-based coffee company joins fast food chains Wendy’s and McDonald’s in offering deals to customers to increase sales, according to CNN.
Other large retailers, such as Target, Aldi and Walgreens, also recently announced that they’re cutting prices on hundreds or even thousands of items across departments, The N&O previously reported.
