Starbucks In Cranford Reopens, Expands Space

CRANFORD, NJ — The Starbucks located on South Avenue in Cranford recently reopened after undergoing a remodeling and is now expanding its store.

According to a post from Downtown Cranford, Leo — the manager at the South Ave. location — said that just in the past few years, the business model for Starbucks has changed, which motivated him to expand the store.

With increased demand for mobile orders, Starbucks made the decision to expand into the space next door. That space now serves as a consolidated area for Uber Eats, "the first of its kind," according to Downtown Cranford.

The main café area remains an accommodating space for customers to enjoy their favorite Starbucks beverages and food.

“The new layout allows us to serve customers more efficiently,” Leo told Downtown Cranford. “It provides for faster turnaround and a better experience overall.”

Leo has been with Starbucks for 22 years and can’t compliment the employees in his store enough.

“We have a great team in place here,” Leo said. “A number of them have been here for years. We were all excited to reopen our doors and see our customers again."

The expanded Starbucks is located at 200 S Ave E.
