Starbucks in Aventura

There are two Starbucks in Aventura that are traditional storefront locations. There's also a Starbucks kiosk in the Aventura Mall and probably a few others hidden around town. These Starbucks are not part of the 600 Starbucks that will be closing this summer. In fact, walk into any of the Aventura Starbucks and you'll have trouble finding a seat - they're packed. It seems few people are phased by the slowing economy and refuse to give up their $5.00 plus designer coffee.

Here's a map of the Starbucks location in and around Aventura, Florida.

As many as 12,000 Starbucks workers will lose their jobs when the company begins closing 600 U.S. stores this summer.

The Seattle coffee company is cutting 5 percent of its U.S. locations as part of a wide-ranging effort to boost its bottom line and its stock price. The chain is accelerating international growth.

Most customers whose Starbucks stores close will be a short walk from a caffeine fix, the company said, because many of the unprofitable stores were being cannibalized by nearby Starbucks locations.
