Another Starbucks Coming to Leslieville at Jones and Gerrard

There's a sign in the window of the building on the Northwest corner of Jones and Gerrard confirming it. I heard that it will be 2 levels. The initial zoning notice in the window several weeks back called for changing the zoning  of the second floor from residential to commercial.

No notice of when it's opening.

Hooray? I always think the people in the Starbucks directly across from MERCURY are insane. Shorter line for great coffee for me!
Here's the proof...a picture is worth 1000 words:

My initial reaction was ack! for the Grinder folks, but considering Starbucks and Mercury have managed to coexist profitably for several years now maybe it'll just mean more commerce overall on the corner.

(The sign's not there this morning, but I did see it yesterday.)
Many locals are pleased because it's an affirmation that the area is improving rapidly. Starbucks does their research.

I will remain a fan of Grinder, but welcome Starbucks to the strip.

Do we really need another place for overpriced coffee in cheap paper or plastic cups? More garbage to the landfill. Junkfood patrons don't seem to mind.

I prefer my coffee in a nice little porcelain cup instead...

Excellent news! :) Love Starbucks :) Sorry Boris but I am happy to see this in the neighborhood. Should add another 100K to my house value :)

I am certainly not a Charbucks fan, but far prefer to have them at that corner than the greasy food places that have existed there over the last 5 years. Based on all the favourable developments that are occuring at Queen and Logan after Charbucks opened there, I hope for the same at Jones and Gerrard!

Certainly don't mind the 100 k in property increase. but surely we can achieve that without the junkfood industry helping.

luckily, you can get exactly that at Grinders.

I went to school in that area.

Starbucks will NOT add $100K to your home there.

It will take a lot more than that....

I am happy to see Ward 30 gentrifying...it's a good thing...

Maybe not $100k by itself...but it's another step in a long timeline of constant improvement. Even if you don't like the store itself, its good...
