West Chester merchants are up in arms over an impending Starbucks invasion. Two locations are opening in WC (with one at the University and one downtown) and Bucks County Coffee manager John Jacob Becker is worried it will hurt the bottom line of local merchants (of course including himself):
“I think part of what they’re doing by opening a shop in the library is to pave the way for a downtown business location by preemptively taking the business from small local merchants,” Becker said. “When they open the store downtown, the local economy will be less equipped to compete.”
Ah, Starbucks. People love to hate ya.
