Starbucks opening Tucson’s first drive-thru-only shop

Starbucks is planning several more shops in the Tucson area, and its first drive-thru-only location is under construction on the northwest corner of Silverbell and St. Mary’s roads.

The coffee chain leased the space from Holland Real Estate LLC, which was represented by Lori Casey and Robert Nolan, with Oxford Realty.

There are Starbucks kiosks inside the three nearby grocery stores along Silverbell Road, the Safeway at Grant Road, the Albertson’s at Speedway and the Safeway at St. Mary’s Road. Those locations will continue to operate, as they serve mainly shoppers and employees, said Picor broker Greg Furrier, who represented Starbucks.

“They’re supposed to be completely different customers,” he said. “But if you live out there and only go to the grocery store for Starbucks, then there might be an impact.”

He noted those kiosks are staffed with grocery store employees, not Starbucks baristas and have a limited menu.

Starbucks is also opening in the Vail Safeway Shopping Center, 13460 E. Mary Ann Cleveland Way; at Ajo Way and Kinney Road; Campbell Avenue and Irvington Road; and Cortaro Road and Interstate 10.

Furrier said a second drive-thru-only location is being negotiated in midtown.
