SAVE our Redding, CA Starbucks
Published July 23, 2008
Downtown Redding is undergoing a metamorphosis. Redding got its first Starbucks at 1400 Eureka Way. Shasta College has expanded to a new downtown location. The art deco Cascade Theater had a $7 million rehabilitation. The Redding Riverfront Playhouse decided to move to downtown. Upscale restaurants, Mariner, Blendz, Carneige's, Fuji and Market Street Steakhouse opened. Marketfest, Farmer�s Market, the new Redding City Hall, The expansion of Cypress Street, the widening of the Cypress Street Bridge, The Calatrava Sundial Bridge and Museum have aided in the revitalization of Redding�s downtown. The Starbuck�s #9455 and #13936 further cemented the bond between business and the community. Removing these two keystone Starbuck locations will hurt the downtown growth momentum, and the steps the citizens have taken to restore Redding to its pre-mall glory.There are 13 Starbucks in Redding, but #9455 and #13936are slated for closure. Please support Starbucks petition drive. We need these two stores.
