Starbucks Sets Nov. Opening for Mag Mile Roastery, World’s Largest

Starbucks has set Nov. 15 as the opening date for its new Magnificent Mile location, the world’s largest. The 43,000-square-foot Roastery will replace a former Crate and Barrel location at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Erie Street, overtaking the Tokyo site as the largest by square footage.

It will be the third U.S. Roastery, following locations in Seattle and New York, and the sixth worldwide. Starbucks announced the Chicago location in 2017, promising a “fully sensorial coffee environment” dedicated to roasting and brewing Starbucks’ coffees from around the world.

The location will also feature the company’s artisan bakery concept, Princi, with food offerings that are more upscale than a typical Starbucks.

Although Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson told CNN that “we’re very pleased with how they’re performing,” there are no definite plans for more Roastery locations beyond the new Chicago site.

Connect Chicago Fall 2019 will take place Oct. 29 in Chicago. For more information, or to register, click here.
