Starbucks Reinvents the Store Experience to Speak to the Heart and Soul of Local Communities

Many of the materials used in the 1st Avenue & Pike Street store in Seattle are warm and rustic, reflecting the look and feel of a workmen's commissary. The columns, floor and ceiling were preserved from existing buildings; the wood in the cabinets was repurposed from fallen trees in the Seattle area; and the community table came from a local restaurant.

The Paris Disney Village store reflects the rich local culture and takes a playful, storybook approach and incorporates reused local materials such the exterior wooden cladding made from reclaimed Champagne racks. (Photo: Business Wire)
