This thread reminds me of the joke about selling ice boxes to Eskimos.
Who wants to drink the sad tasting coffee from Starbucks when you have what we grow and sell here?
Wasn't there a time when they were importing sugar into the DR?
why some of you think there won't ever be a starbucks here is beyond me.
like i said near the beginning of this thread.
there is a starbucks in the DR.
it is near the marina/cinema in casa de campo.
it has been there for some time.
it hardly ever has any customers.
it is over-priced and crap.
similar to most other starbucks around the world.
If a McDonalds, Burger King, TGIFs can make it here, so can a Starbucks. The price alone for a cup of java will prevent many dominicans from buying it and that's just fine for the status/society types. It will be status thing a place to be seen. The young hipsters will flock to it.
Sorry, but they serve Starbucks coffee (that you can get in US grocery stores) but they are NOT a Starbucks Coffee Shop.bienamor .... yes it is real.
if you google 'starbucks casa de campo' you will see a lot of links starting from around 2008.
Casa de Campo Living Starbuck Coffee now available at the Marina!
the link you give, if you don't mind me saying so, is dated 2003.
boch
.....oh yes.....and one good thing going for it is that it does have free internet.

At least according to their January 20, 2010 disclosure statement:
Starbucks Corporation: International Partnership Summary 1/20/2010
I was at the marina of casa de campo last week, there s a small mall just outside the marina where they supposedly serve Starbucks coffee (proudly). It was closed though and looked abandoned.
There's a rumor that they will open one in Agora mall santodomingo��
Starbucks is the nastiest brown water served up to mankind.
Why not support local business with a tastier cup of coffee?
