The Seattle-based national coffee chain Starbucks is preparing to open a new location in Hickory Grove at 6021 Hickory Grove Rd.
The company’s newest location will move into the former home of Truist Bank, according to a recent pending permit application for a land development construction plan. The new 2,500-square-foot location will be a newly constructed site with a drive-through. There is no exact opening date, considering the application is still in progress. While Starbucks has locations throughout the greater Charlotte area, this will be the first in central Hickory Grove.
Last month, the company announced its long-term growth strategy, Triple Shot Reinvention with Two Pumps. With this new strategy, Starbucks hopes to elevate the brand, strengthen and scale digitally, further expand globally, identify opportunities within and outside the store for efficiencies, and reinvigorate the partner (employee) culture. The strategy builds on the significant business momentum from the past year while laying out a roadmap for how the company will deliver long-term, sustainable growth and outsized returns to partners, customers, and shareholders.
“I am immensely proud of the work we have done so far in reinventing and re-founding the company for its next phase of growth. I am excited about our multiple paths to revenue growth and earnings, which should give you confidence in our ability to meet our goals,” CEO Laxman Narasimhan said during the announcement. “I am honored to be leading this talented group of over 450,000 green apron partners, including this executive leadership team, to deliver human connection more broadly around the world for the benefit of us all.”
