After what felt like a long year of building, the new Starbucks has opened in Taylorville off Route 29. As of November 2022, the company had 35,711 stores in 80 countries, with 15,873 of which were located in the United States. The coffee place saw its first customer this morning as Taylorville resident Kaci Devore went through the drive-thru. Her order was a venti hot white chocolate mocha with one pump of raspberry. The first customer inside this morning was Lettie Thompson, a 6-year-old, who is reportedly a big Starbucks lover and wanted badly to be the very first customer, especially since it's her birthday. Happy Birthday Lettie! This is the second Starbucks to open in Taylorville, with the other location inside Kroger at 201 E. Bidwell.
