"The first restaurant"[edit]

What "restaurant"? Even the present day Starbucks isn't a "restaurant" (it does takeout coffee and pastries) but the old 1971 Starbucks didn't even do that. It sold coffee beans, fresh-ground coffee, and coffee-making equipment. It did not sell coffee for immediate consumption, nor (as far as I'm aware) and sort of food. - Jmabel | Talk 00:46, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do we know what this is saying? I don't understand this group of sentences at the end of the article... "While commonly referred to as the first Starbucks location, the current address is the second for the Pike Place store. The first restaurant was located at 2000 Western Avenue for five years. It is currently located in 1912 Pike Place."[4] Alyssadebragga (talk) 21:10, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pending Edit To Include Updated Info[edit]

This is my first suggested edit so I appreciate any feedback you can provide. This first Starbucks store is now one of three in what is now called "The Heritage Market." Three stores now showcase the past, present, and future of Starbucks all within one district. Brandonr7 (talk) 01:16, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
