Starbucks to open new location in Honolulu

Starbucks Coffee is likely opening a new location near the University of Hawaii Manoa as part of the new student housing project being built across from Puck’s Alley on University Avenue, Shimogawa Scoops has learned.
Located at 2615 South King St., the Hale Mahana student housing project also will include numerous commercial spaces on the ground floor.
Starbucks fits perfectly, not only in Hale Mahana, but also in the area that’s home to tens of thousands of college students.
The Seattle-based coffee giant has more than 100 stores across Hawaii.
