The Media Relations Department at Starbucks has confirmed to Regional Radio News, a date that the new corporate-owned Starbucks on Illinois Route 29 on Taylorville’s northwest side will open.

The prepared statement sent to our newsroom indicates the location is expected to open this summer.   Previous information provided to us indicated they expect to market for full-and-part-time positions sometime this quarter.  

Construction on the new Starbucks, that will include indoor and outdoor seating as well as a drive-up, began late last summer.
