Sorry folks, there won't be any comfy oversized chairs at some new Starbucks locations, which will forgo tables and chairs entirely in favor of a drive-thru and walk-up model.
The stores, an eco-friendly experiment, will be tiny. The first, which is already open in Denver, Co., is just 500 square feet and fits only three to five people and work equipment. Made of local materials including Wyoming snow fencing, the small building is certified by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
