Dobbin Center Starbucks Relocating, Adding Drive-Through

The Starbucks on Dobbin Center Drive is relocating, and busy Columbians might find the new store a little more convenient.

When it opens at its new spot at 6365 Dobbin Road, the coffee shop will offer drive-through service.

The new store is slated to open March 23, according to blogger Dennis Lane, author of Tale of Two Cities.

Starbucks is moving into half of a new building being constructed on the site formerly occupied by Mango Grove, according to Bill Mackey, division chief of comprehensive and community planning for the Howard County Department of Planning and Zoning.

The store manager told Lane that the new shop is smaller than the one being vacated.

Starbucks will lease Suite A and Radio Shack will occupy Suite B, according to Mackey.

A tip of the hat goes to Patch reader Dan Peoples who first told Patch of the new construction and the possibility of a new Starbucks.
