Very simple but looks much better.

  1. Sometimes the choice is effectively made for them by the local council. The Greggs at stations generally look more snazzy than the usual colour scheme.

  2. This is the Starbucks next to Kew Gardens underground station

  3. I believe a massive “Make Britain Beautiful” campaign should happen, force things like this for our town centres.

  4. So we’re saying you should integrate into your local community?

  5. This explains why my local Starbucks in the High Street looks like crap.

  6. Pretty but still Starbucks and therefore still overpriced overrated crap. You can make yourself a better coffee at home at a fraction of the price.

  7. And they still don’t pay corporation tax on the UK profits! I’d rather die of thirst than buy anything from Starbucks!

  8. Well it no longer stands out. So id imagine that’s a big part of it. But probably the main problem with doing this is that they lose their brand identity.

  9. Is this new? Are Starbuck trying to shake off their affiliation with the Geno’s?

  10. That Starbucks is an example of terrible integration.

    Victorian building with a bay, and a 21st century contemporary wooden / glass front.

    The battle was lost 40 years ago. Starbucks looks contemporary so people like it, and that’s fine, but it doesn’t match the original.

  11. That’s one of my favourite things in the Battersea mall. The storefronts integrate really well into the overall look of the mall.

  12. My high street’s local identity is “worn out concrete”, so I’m good if shops want to go their own way.

  13. They only do this because it’s in their contract. Or they would brand the shit out of that front.
