Starbucks Springs a Big Surprise in Devon

Chalk it up to all that high octane coffee maybe.  Starbucks' newest store in Devon opened Sunday morning, twelve days ahead of the company's own internal schedule.

"We got the store ready in two days," Starbucks Devon Manager Bryn Karr tells TE Patch. "We got the keys on Friday and we opened for business on Sunday."

By Monday late afternoon, the "now open" signs and those tall wind-blown vertical flags were alerting drivers on Lancaster Ave that the new Starbucks, complete with Drive Thru window was open.

Baristas were imported from other company-owned stores in the region to help the baristas who've been hired to serve up all the coffee, tea and other drink concoctions that make Starbucks Starbucks.

The store is just west of and shares a driveway with the that .  If you miss it going east, you can also get to the coffee drive thru through the Whole Foods Market parking lot entrance.

If you do decide to get out of the car, you will find a state-of-the art coffee shop inside. Karr says Starbucks calls Devon a "leed" store.  It is designed to be eco-friendly with special light bulbs, and wood that was "reclaimed" from other places. In addition to a drive thru there is a bike rack on site for those who like to pedal to get to their coffee.

The Devon store was also built from the ground up specifically as a Starbucks and not a building that has been something else in the past.
