After much anticipation, Hillsborough welcomed its brand new Starbucks. The new building shares a shopping center with Retro Fitness, Ricky’s Thai, and the closed Stop & Shop. Hillsborough had a smaller Starbucks in the Shop Rite strip mall nearby, but the new location brings many benefits to customers.

This Starbucks is very advantageous and convenient for customers with its drive-thru and expanded seating both indoors and outdoors.

People can take advantage of the spacious inside to do work or chat with friends. The new Starbucks appears to be a popular destination for Hillsborough residents.

“It is easy access, and it’s perfect for on the way to school since I don’t need to leave my car,” senior Karan Mahesh said.

Senior Raj Patel is an employee at Starbucks. The establishment kept the same staff after its move from its previous location.

“There’s a lot more space,” Patel said. “Everything is cleaner and newer, and it’s overall just a more pleasant experience.”

So, if you’re looking for a new place to get some coffee, check out the new Starbucks!
