Starbucks at 43 Eglinton/Google
The Starbucks at 43 Eglinton Ave E at Holly St will close Sunday after many years of operation. Like the location at 1545 Bayview Ave., the Eglinton and Holly Starbucks was among the busiest of stores before the LRT inspired a construction frenzy in the area. But also, like the Bayview shop, Eglinton and Holly has been pounded by C-19 fearfulness and changing coffee habits. Among other things, many consumers now drink their favorite Starbucks coffee at home by way of a Nespresso machine. And corporate planning seems set on planting new coffee bars inside places like Loblaws and other existing businesses. It’s interesting to note that the former Starbucks at 878 Eginton (at Laird) remains vacant. Is it even for lease?
