NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ - Rutgers students won’t need to venture that far off campus to get their Starbucks fix.

The Starbucks at The Yard@College Avenue, located at the corner of College Avenue and Hamilton Street, is slated to reopen in the winter 2018, a Starbucks spokesperson confirmed in an email.

The site had been closed for most of the Fall 2017 academic semester, at least since September, following contractual issues between Starbucks’ corporate office and the operator of the Yard location.

Company officials plan to operate the franchise directly, company officials said, rather than let it be run through a partnership with a third party.

​The location ​was also closed temporarily in January 2017, just at the start of the spring semester.
