A reader has sent mail to suggest that Starbucks will shortly open on the southwest corner of Mount Pleasant ‘Rd and Soudan Ave. It is the former home of a pastry shop. The story makes some sense because there are no Starbucks on Mount Pleasant, according to the menu of coffee stores shown on their website. Baristas at the Bayview Starbucks report that they are deluged with complaints that there is no shop on Mount Pleasant. There are many well established businesses on Mount Pleasant. There is the Bitton House retirement home across Soudan (which houses a Timothy’s) and a Sobey’s just up the street. We’ll keep you posted.
