Matt Warnock has provided me with screenshots of the Starbucks phenomenon from Shrek 2.
Orlando, Florida – near UCF
Another close call, but I’ll take. Reid McMullian writes, “in orlando, fl, just down the street from the university of central florida, there are three starbucks in one shopping center. the corner shop, one inside barnes and noble, and one inside a super target.”
Seattle, Washington – Downtown
Scott Harrison writes, “This is a map of Starbucks locations in downtown Seattle. It’s from the Starbucks site. If the link doesn’t work then just go to the Starbucks site’s store locator and type in Seattle, WA and do a 2 mile search.”
San Franciso, CA in Financial District
Maynard Poindexter write, “isaac – you must never have been in downtown san francisco. in the financial district there are literally 2, 3 or 4 starbucks at almost every corner and i am not exaggerating. the only reason i can think is so that you don’t have to cross the street to get to the other one. i’m not kidding! (i don’t have pics because i am too lazy to go do that) But, ask around to people who live/work there – there are so many that it is easily confirmed. the joke is – in one of my MBA classes, we studied starbucks corp, and according to starbucks long range strategic plan, they are only at 25% of their total goal. where will the others go?! (the universe will actually end when there is finally a starbucks INSIDE another starbucks!!)”

The starbucks location is:

Hillsboro , OR 97124
Albertsons containing a starbucks:
888 NE 25th Ave

Tokyo, Japan at Shinjuku Station
Rachael Prewett writes, “At Shinjuku station, in Tokyo, Japan there are two Starbucks. One is part of the station itself, and the other is across the street and a few shops down. I saw the two, did a bit of a double take, remembered
the joke and shook my head.”
San Francisco, CA Bay Area
Ember Leo writes: ” I don’t know if you are still collecting this information, but in the San Francisco Bay Area, it’s not at all uncommon for two, even three Starbucks to all be in the same strip mall. The usual combination is that there will be a Starbucks free-standing, and a grocery store (either Albertsons, or Safeway) with a Starbucks inside. I can think of several locations where this is the case, off the top of my head, it’s so common. Tully and Central Expressway in San Jose, Sequoia Station on El Camino in Redwood City, and Loheman’s Plaza on Homestead in Sunnyvale, to name a few. What is slightly less common is when there is also a Barnes & Noble in the same shopping center as such a pairing, and then there will
also be a Starbucks inside the Barnes & Noble. The only concrete example I can think of is on San Pablo and Carlson in El Cerrito, but I know there are others.”
UC Riverside
Brian Jackson writes: “Ok, here’s one I think you’ll like. Near UC Riverside (University of California at Riverside), there is a little shopping center (cinema, few restaurants, nothing very large). Originally it had one Starbucks on one corner, but as new restaurants were put in, a new, larger Starbucks was put in in the same shopping center. We all thought that the first would close, but to this day, they both remain open, in the same center, 200 feet away from each other. To be fair though, at any given time, there are a fair amount of people in both. Proof? From the Starbucks locater:”
1. 1299 University, Riverside
1299 University Avenue
Riverside CA, 92507
United States
2. University & Iowa – Riverside
1201 University Avenue
Riverside CA, 92507
United States
New York, NY
Shane Smith writes: “There is a Starbuck’s on the corner of Broadway and Barclay Sts, and another right across City Hall Park, on the corner of Park Row and Beekman St. Not quite across the street, but in spitting distance.”
Memphis, TN
Rob Tucker writes: “They are in the same parking lot even. You could throw a rock at one and hit the second on the bounce.”
