Naperville Starbucks Reserve Closes Temporarily For Redesign

NAPERVILLE, IL — The Starbucks Reserve store on Main Street in downtown Naperville is closed temporarily to allow for a redesign that will transform the space into a more traditional Starbucks.

A spokesperson for the Seattle-based company told Patch via email that the shift comes after "careful consideration" amid a routine evaluation of the Starbucks store portfolio "to ensure it’s meeting the needs of our customers and the communities we serve."

Starbucks Reserve cafes typically feature more rare, coffee blends, along with inventive and experimental brews, cocktails and artisanal desserts, according to the company website. Returning to a more traditional menu means the 203 S. Main St. location will focus less on craft and experimental coffees and serve up the brand's better-known cold brews, lattes, frappuccinos and other items.

Employees who worked at Naperville's Starbucks Reserve Cafe have been given the option of pursuing other opportunities within the company.

The spokesperson for Starbucks did not provide a timeline as to when the store will reopen, but said, "We are proud to be a part of the community and look forward to serving our customers again soon at this location."
