Starbuck’s are pretty much everywhere you go on almost every corner, but now they will be opening up a store in the most unlikeliest place ever.
A funeral home in northwest South Carolina will house a Starbucks as part of an expansion in August,according to local station WSPA.com.
Chris Robinson, owner of Robinson Funeral Home in Easley, told the station his business is adding a new wing where Starbucks will install equipment and provide menus.
Grieving families will be able to seek comfort in a warm cup of freshly brewed coffee, in Robinson's appropriately named 'Coffee Corner', amid business offices and a chapel. The funeral director said the coffee shop will be open to the public, not just those mourning the dearly departed.
Free coffee will continue to be provided by the home to those attending visitations, Robinson assured. 'We'll still have the homemade Robinson coffee, too,' he said. Mourners will now know they’re getting Starbucks until they enter the funeral home.
The TV station says the agreement stipulates no outside signage because it is not a full-service store. The funeral home also said it’ll have its own brew free of charge, unlike the Starbucks brand.
