Work is moving right along on a new full-size Starbucks cafe in North Tuscaloosa on Rice Mine Road, the biggest of three new locations opening in the area this year.
A Tuscaloosa tire shop has been demolished after 26 years in business on 15th Street and the foundations are laid for a new Starbucks to replace it in that spot.
The University of Alabama is one step closer to opening its second on-campus Starbucks drive-thru after the Board of Trustees approved the design Friday morning.
Northport residents can soon buy fresh Starbucks coffee without crossing the river into Tuscaloosa, although the java giant has not committed to opening a standalone cafe there.
