Starbucks has included the orginal "Train Station" Starbucks in their closure list. Although the official closing date has not been announced, it could be closed any time between August and March of 2009. Rather than close the newer, "McStarbucks" on Center Street, Starbucks has chosen to close what has to be one of the most unique locations it has. The old train station location is spacious, airy, and welcoming. My kids have enjoyed the passing trains and great Starbucks staff for years. Mr. Shultz, please be advised that I will NEVER spend a dollar at the Center Street location, nor any other Starbucks for that matter. There is a Peets Coffee and Tea location in Newton Center as well, and they will be getting my daily business going forward if you proceed with this closing. Please sign this petition and let Mr. Shultz know that closing the train station location is not in the best interest of Newton or Starbucks. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Added by denisgoodwin @ July 16, 2008, 6:38 pm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Update: Just to clarify - since I wrote this very late at night - I personally will not support Starbucks going forward if this location is closed. The rest of the folks signing are doing so primarily to support keeping the store open. They all are welcome to embellish in their signature! |

| 429 | 2 days ago Ryan Brodeur: Seriously? The Centre St Starbucks is super-cramped and on a busy street. Far less inviting to customers than the Station Bucks. | |

| 424 | 5 days ago Jesse Farrell: I'm a lifelong Newton Centre resident. Every year the number of businesses I frequent here dwindles and more banks open. Please keep one of the few remaining meeting places in the Centre open. Thank you. | |

| 419 | A week ago Hillel Korin: I support this petition.This has been one of my offcies fro many years and I often meet and do my work there -- The cookie cutter store on Beacon St is boring and univinviting meeting spot | |
| 418 | A week ago Caren Korin: I support this petition. This is a great Starbucks with wonderful staff and a great place to meet people. The "bean counters" were counting the wrong beans when adding this store to the list! Close the one across the street that has hardly any room to sit. The loss of this Starbucks would be a loss to the character of Newton Center and Union Street. | |
| 417 | A week ago David Mason: I support this petition. This is the best Starbucks ANYWHERE. | |
| 416 | A week ago Shaun Asberry: I support this petition. and save my starbucks in Somerset Kentucky! the only place i can go to relax with people who can speak English and actualy have a conversation! i live in hell! | |
| 415 | A week ago Cassandra Warshowsky Warshowsky: I support this petition. This is one of the most terrific coffee places anywhere...how could Starbucks possibly opt for closig this wonderful, unique, excellently staffed store instead of the nearby small, generic, impossible to park near or reach Starbucks 2 blocks away. In addition to all the great reasons to keep the Union Street/Newton Center store...this spot gets so many additional customerss (me included) who run in to grab coffee and snack when they are waiting for the train. For years, an old train sign lights up and gives customers a 2 minute notice when the train to Boston will arrive. You can't imagain the number of purchases commuters make...which they never would...when they know they have time to get coffee AND catch the train. DON'T CLOSE IT!!! | |

| 390 | 3 weeks ago Steven Melly: I support this petition. As others have said, my children love watching the trains from this store. Although we moved from Newton Centre to Newton Lower Falls, we regularly go to this Starbucks when we buy bagels at Rosenfelds and go to the barbers. | |

| 385 | 3 weeks ago philip ryan: I support this petition. | |
| 384 | 3 weeks ago Amy Friedman: I support this petition. This is the coziest most unique Starbucks I have ever seen. It is also a T-Stop, so traffic is unbelievable. I am told the little Starbuck express around the corner which has no available seating can barely handle the volume, despite the larger Train starbucks location. Don't make this unwise choice! | |
| 383 | 3 weeks ago Tim Tippett: I support this petition. The Newton Centre, MA Starbucks location on Union Street in the old train station building is simply too unique a structure with a special atmosphere to be closed. Please don't close my favorite "third place." | |
| 382 | 3 weeks ago Sand Weintraub: I would like to propose another use for the coffee shop in the evening. We have a theatre group who would like to put on short plays and invite guests to be our audience. It would give Starbucks an added income for the times when business is slow. Would appreciate an answer to this by someone in the Starbucks chain of command. | |
