Starbucks and Amazon Go are opening a concept store in New York City -- a mashup of a regular Starbucks pickup store and an Amazon Go store, where customers grab items without having to wait in line to pay.
Essentially, it's a mashup of a regular Starbucks pickup store and an Amazon Go store, where customers grab items without having to wait in line to pay. No freebies though — you'll be charged when you exit. And you'll still have to pay for barista-made drinks in the store. The New York City location opens on Thursday.
What the third place looks like in 2021 Starbucks has long pitched itself as a so-called third place where you can sip a cappuccino, read the paper, listen to a carefully curated playlist of smooth jazz and, increasingly in 2021, work remotely. "There's space to plug in, space to be, space to connect, space to have meetings," said Kathryn Young, Starbucks senior vice president of global growth and development.
