After years of serving coffee and pastries to the residents of Osborne Village, the Starbucks located at 380 Osborne Street has permanently closed its doors.
The news of the closure was confirmed by a spokesperson for Starbucks Canada, who stated that the decision was made due to the lease ending and the company’s overall store portfolio strategy.
The Osborne Village location was a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, known for its cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Its closure has left many regular customers disappointed and saddened.
Some residents have expressed concern over the impact this closure will have on the community, as the Starbucks was not only a place to grab a cup of coffee, but also a gathering spot for friends and a meeting place for business professionals.
In response to these concerns, the spokesperson for Starbucks Canada stated that the company is committed to supporting the community and will continue to do so through its other locations in Winnipeg.
The closure of the Osborne Village Starbucks is just one of many changes happening in the area, as the neighborhood undergoes a revitalization process. However, many residents are hopeful that a new coffee shop will take its place and continue to provide a welcoming space for the community.
For now, the iconic green sign that once marked the entrance to the Osborne Village Starbucks has been taken down, leaving behind memories and a sense of nostalgia for those who frequented the establishment.
As the community moves forward, it is clear that the Osborne Village Starbucks will be missed, but its legacy will live on in the hearts of its loyal customers.
