Starbucks Corporation has disclosed the 600 stores that it is planning on shutting down, and the store located at 107 S Cedar Ridge Dr in Duncanville, Texas, is one of them.
The goal of this petition is to show the Starbucks Board of Directors how much this store means to so many people in the city of Duncanville, and to possibly change their minds about closing it down.
P.S. Yes, i know there is a Starbucks in the Tom Thumb. But that is so completely different. Why would we want to go hang out in a grocery store? Besides, that Starbucks store is owned by Tom Thumb, not by Starbucks.

P.S. Yes, i know there is a Starbucks in the Tom Thumb. But that is so completely different. Why would we want to go hang out in a grocery store? Besides, that Starbucks store is owned by Tom Thumb, not by Starbucks.
We the undersigned have created this petition to request that the Starbucks Corporation Board of Directors change their minds about their decision to close down the Starbucks store located at 107 S Cedar Ridge Dr in Duncanville, Texas.
This store is very important to so many people in the city of Duncanville. It has become a popular hangout site for many Duncanville residents of all ages. Its close proximity to Duncanville High School also makes it a very popular place in the teenage population. This store means a lot to the community of Duncanville. Everyone knows where it is, and without a second thought most people will tell you that it is one of the most well-known locations in Duncanville. This store is very close to the hearts of the employees as well as the customers. There are countless Starbucks "regulars" who come in every day for their coffee, and these people will have to change their daily routine after the store closes. Closing this store will not only upset the customers, but the employees who don't get transferred will be out of a job. All in all, the closing of this store will greatly affect the people of Duncanville.
This store is a part of the Duncanville community, a community that is centered around being together and enjoying the time spent together. Starbucks plays a big role in being together, and the people of Duncanville would hate to see it go.
In closing, we want to thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to read this letter, and we hope that you will take into consideration what this store means to all of us.

My family and I - My husabnd David and our three teens, Kevin, Lauren and Colleen - have come to rely on the Starbucks on Cedar Ridge as an essential gathering place for family and friends. We've spent a small fortune there - and will continue to do so. Our teens are all headed off to college this month, and they will take a Starbucks gift card with them that was pruchased at the Cedar Ridge location. Every Christmas, a Starbucks gift card goes in their stockings, and we use these as gifts for friends as well. Every time I go to this Starbucks on Cedar Ridge, I see friends and collleagues from Duncanville enjoying the atmosphere of our neighborhood coffee house. PLEASE DON'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM THE CITIZENS OF DUNCANVILLE!!!!

Duncanville Starbucks is one of the only reasons I still live in Duncanville.
It is clean, staffed with wonderful people who know my name and my drink, and one of the only places to hang out in town. When Starbucks opened, it forced the Valentine Coffee Company out of business, since it opened in the same shopping center parking lot. We were sad then, but Starbucks quickly became a great place to drink coffee and socialize.
I spent my entire college career going to Starbucks at least 3 or 4 times a week. I have spent so much time sitting in the store, drinking my coffee and learning lines for plays, studying, having wonderful conversations with friends, and enjoying life. This is what Starbucks is about. The rest of Duncanville has absolutely no place like this. It's one of the only reasons I still live there.
It's not JUST about coffee. I can make my own coffee at home. It's about community, something that is so quickly fading in our society. This is one of the few places left to experience community in our town.
Please, listen to the opinions of the people who actually frequent this location and keep it open!!

Every weekend I get my haircut in the nearby shopping center and stop by for a Vanilla Latte. It's a little thing that I look forward to and truly enjoy. It would not be the same in a Tom Thumb grocery store.
Please reconsider this closing. Southern Dallas county is being abandonded by Starbucks and that just isn't fair.

Why is it that STARBUCKS has to be closed, why cant you close an unhealthy establishment like perhaps KFC or MCDONALDS. Starbucks make enough money to upkeep its taxes, so why does it not have a fair chance to stay in business! KEEP STARBUCKS IN DUNCANVILLE!

They should close down ones like locations in New York where they're right down the street from each other. Locations in the Dallas metroplex are spread out pretty far from each other.

I sure don't! this starbucks is the only one in the area. if it were to close it would cause extreme inconveniences. as a student as Duncanville High School, i (and everyone else i know) fraternize this business constantly. it is a quiet place to mingle, do homework, or just to come get great coffee and nothing else. closing this starbucks will make hundreds of people unhappy and it isnt fair to the loyal customers that have been here from the start, thank you.

I would not like to see the Duncanville Starbucks get shut down. One reason I would prefer it to stay open is because it is convenient for the high school students in the morning.

Why do you need to close down so many Starbucks for? at least leave on open for the highschoolers and locals to undulge in their mochas or lattes or fraps. We also need that little relaxation spot to just hang. There's no where else to go around here...

The Duncanville Starbucks has provided hundreds of locals a place to meet new people, do school work, and provides a convenient place for some church's Bible Studies. If you close down our Starbucks then we will lose our "Home Away from Home". Please DONT SHUT DOWN OUR STARBUCKS!!!

I enjoy the Starbucks on Cedar Ridge all the time, I've made friends with some of the employees, and even get to randomly see my own old high school friends there and have a blast catching up with them over coffee. I think there's a Starbucks on Camp Wisdom... take that one all you like, but leave this one please!!!

Who cares! By doing this you might as well just say keep them all open! How do you think other people in other states feel? It wont help at all doing this. Plus theres still a starbucks in Tom Thumb that they had made about 2 months ago so just go get your freaking coffee there! Or buy some of their coffee that they sell in the stores so you can make it yourself. Thanks for reading!
