The last two days I had to walk back and forth to the downtown. Both days I asked the people working on the Starbucks why the place was being renovated, and today I struck paydirt. Today I happened to have asked the store manager for the last five years as he was retrieving things from one of the two massive containers out front.
The answer was that Starbucks started as exclusively a coffee place, without any food at all, but that now half of its business is cold drinks, including many fruit juices. Secondly, they now are also selling lots of foods. Thirdly, this particular store turned out to be a lot busier than it was originally projected to be. So the renovation was done to service both the broader and greater demands of the current customers.
BTW, the first person I asked yesterday had no idea – he was likely one of the workmen for a contractor.

Sorry, but since I hardly ever go there I did not ask. Given how long it has been going on it is an expensive renovation.

Sadly the Starbucks renovations are complete and it is no longer a place to go, sit down and relax over a beverage. It’s geared towards take out. The seating is minimal, a few tables and 10 chairs. The “Art Wall” where I and many other Medfield artists displayed paintings and photos over the years is gone… replaced by corporate “art.” This is now a “ take out” Starbucks. It’s happened to many of their other locations and is sad to see as someone who has always enjoyed going out to a “coffee house.” You can no longer sit at a table in Brothers Market and enjoy a hot beverage. ( you can still sit at what’s left of the counter.) I think it’s a loss for Downtown Medfield. Now I’ll have to drive to Blue Moon.
