New Starbucks set to open on Bloomington’s west side

Starbucks Franchise

The Twin Cities’ newest Starbucks is slated to open next week on Bloomington’s west side. 

The store at 1609 W. Market St. is set to open Monday, according to a company spokesperson. 

The opening date comes almost a year after the Bloomington City Council’s approval of the 2,200-square-foot store at the corner of West Market and Caroline streets. 

The Bloomington Planning Commission initially rejected the proposal, citing concerns about traffic obstructions and accessibility for emergency responders. 

The company submitted a site plan that included a drive-thru bypass lane, a reduced number of parking spots and perimeter fencing between adjacent residential property, earning unanimous city council approval on April 10, 2023. 

Other Starbucks locations in Bloomington-Normal are: 

  • Veterans Parkway and Morrissey, 1701 S. Veterans Parkway, Bloomington 
  • Veterans Parkway and Washington, 101 N. Veterans Parkway, Bloomington
  • College Hills, 307 Veterans Parkway, Normal 
  • Hyatt Place Bloomington-Normal, 200 Broadway Ave., Normal

A location at Main and Raab in Normal — 1715 Bradford Lane, Suite 100 — is undergoing renovations. Midwest Facilities & Construction LLC was issued a permit Feb. 20 for the $592,440 project. 

Starbucks also has publicly accessible locations inside the Illinois State University Bone Student Center and Fitness Center, Hy-Vee in Bloomington and Target in Normal, and a store with restricted access inside State Farm headquarters. 

From the art on the walls to the drinks and even the cups they’re served in, Starbucks has changes in the works.
