Troubled Starbucks chain due to close and be rebranded

Last week it was said that Starbucks will close and this week it is said that will be rebranded. We explain.

Starbucks is an American chain store which started in 2000 in Australia. 
Starbucks was always known for its shit American coffee. In Melbourne it was rated the worst coffee and we agree. The coffees that we had in the past year was watery and tasted like dishwasher water. It had no body and no flavour.

Most of their stores are unclean and everything there is $3.50 or more.

In 2008 Starbucks had closed 64 of its stores in Melbourne. On the 29th of July they are set to close all of their stores and rebrand them as part of the 7-11 franchise. This move comes at a time when Starbucks is losing money.


Business Insider reports that it is been handed down to the BD Withers Group that the owns 7-11 franchise.

But what will that mean for the consumers and students?
It might mean equally as crap coffee for us students. But it is said that their coffees might be a bit cheaper.

For the New International students who are coming into Melbourne you might not find a proper US Starbucks in Melbourne
