My call for more starbucks in Cork

Do you know that Starbucks is not a franchise? It is solely owned and operated by the Starbucks Group. I always thought it was a franchise....

Before I go on, I must admit I absolutely love Starbucks coffee. I actually drive right across the city to the Airport to pick one up sometimes. Second to Starbucks is Costa Coffee, infact Costa tastes nearly the same...

I was passing Penrose Wharf the other evening and had a peek in the window of the Siemens canteen to see if the rumour of a Starbucks coffee shop was true. It is. Picture below....

What I dont understand is why dont they open a dispensing window or let the public in? I park in the Euro Car park every morning and walk past Penrose Wharf every morning and every evening and instead of putting up with the diesel they serve in Le Cheile (The deli, not the bar) I would grab me a Venti Latte from Starbucks.

Can anyone confirm the rumour that a Starbucks is opening in UCC?
