I would have hoped for a Downtown location but that still seems far off for now until more residential comes down the line for the Cedars/Lamar/CBD and Deep Ellum.
This is why I thought West Commerce or Ft Worth Ave would be a great fit for them: they would capture the Kessler/granola Oak Cliff demographic plus West Dallas, downtown, and maybe even a small portion of Uptown. I do have a feeling that they expanded too quickly and just need to get caught up before taking another look.
I think a lot about the Starbucks on Westmoreland and Illinois Ave that opened around 2007 and closed around 2009. Of course it was an awful time for the economy but I also think that location was way too far from their demographic. Even now, 10 years later, I wouldn't look west of Hampton Rd for a big brand like Starbucks or Trader Joe's in Oak Cliff and W Dallas.
