Residents unhappy at the prospect of having to get their coffee from the Dunkin’ Donuts coming into the space formerly occupied by Medfield Friendly’s may soon have a choice: walk the long block along Main Street from North Meadows Road to North Street and there, on the corner where a gas station now stands, could be fuel of a different kind — Starbucks.

And then there were two.

Residents unhappy at the prospect of having to get their coffee from the Dunkin’ Donuts coming into the space formerly occupied by Medfield Friendly’s may soon have a choice: walk the long block along Main Street from North Meadows Road to North Street and there, on the corner where a gas station now stands, could be fuel of a different kind — Starbucks.

At the Downtown Study Committee meeting last Thursday, May 24, representatives of Seattle-based Starbucks Corp. presented their plan to put a Starbucks at the site of the Mobil Station next to the Town House.

Few details were revealed, but the Starbucks representatives — all locations of the global coffee shop chain are corporate owned — did offer a diagram of how they envision a Starbucks on that corner.

They would utilize the existing single story, 1,390-sq. ft. building. A parking area could accommodate 20 cars, plus two spaces on the side for disabled drivers. The lot would have driveways for entering and exiting on both Main and North streets. There would be landscaping along the sidewalk and throughout the site.

Starbucks Corp. did not respond to Medfield Press inquiries before press time, but a spokeswoman assured the paper more information would be forthcoming presently.

In what can only be described as another unfortunate development for the as-yet-unopened Dunkin’ Donuts, it was reported that location would not include a Baskin-Robbins. Many Medfield residents have commented that serving ice cream, like Friendly’s did, made them view the Dunkin’ Donuts more favorably.
