Interesting it has a liquor license.

Starbucks will close 16 U.S. stores, mostly on the West Coast, by the end of July because of safety concerns, according to the company. Most of the stores set to close are in the Los Angeles and Seattle metro areas.

“We’ve had to make the difficult decision to close some locations that have a particularly high volume of challenging incidents that make it unsafe for us to operate,” a Starbucks spokesperson told CNBC.

How many of those stores were looking to unionize?  Starbucks' track record on what they do with stores about to unionize leaves me extremely cynical.

[Victoria Watcher]

^ 1 recently unionized. Not sure about others.

Tim Hortons says it has reached a proposed settlement in multiple class-action lawsuits alleging the restaurant's mobile app violated customer privacy which would see the restaurant offer a free coffee and doughnut to affected users.

The company says the settlement, negotiated with the legal teams involved in the lawsuits, still requires court approval.

The coffee and doughnut chain says the deal would see eligible app users receive a free hot beverage and baked good.

And I will add my usual refrain of what are you buying for that kind of money? 10 year old furnishings?

Not sure if this is the case, but it may be a sale for Canadian Permanent residency.  If they still allow this.

 

I know a few businesses that were sold downtown many years ago for this purpose.  If the person had purchased a Canadian business and hired a few Canadian employees, they and their entire family would get permanent residency after a few years.

 

It's an easy but costly way to jump the line. 

 

You will see the business sold,  and then in a few years, it will close down after they get their permanent residency.

It looks like they dropped it $50,000. It's been for sale a very long time.

 

Sooke could really use a Starbucks. Love them or hate them, they run a tight ship with nice interiors, and their presence lifts up the image of a retail plaza or retail street.
