Starbucks plans to sell beer and wine at its newest Portland location in the Pearl District.
The company already has three stores in Seattle that sell alcohol.
“We do know that 75-percent of our customers do come in before 2 p.m., so for us, this is a great way to expand into the afternoon and evening day part,” said Andrea Streedain, Regional Director for Starbucks.
Starbucks will look for answers in Portland before rolling out this concept to other locations here and across the country. But, the company promised that one thing will always remain constant – “Coffee will always be at the forefront,” Streedain said.
The new Starbucks store will open on June 13th at 5 a.m. Beer and wine service will start at 2 p.m. each day until closing at 11 p.m.
