Expanding drive-thru locations while closing stores like this one is a very disappointing sign.
I've exclusively been buying beans and the occasional coffee from MoT this year, because if any downtown coffee shop stays around I want it to be MoT. But during regular times, Starbucks was great to have because of the long hours and the convenience of the app. I occasionally found myself needing a coffee on the way to work when only Starbucks was open, or found myself in a rush and knew that if I ordered before leaving I could be in and out of Starbucks in 20 seconds.

Hear, hear! With that being said, Starbucks had longer hours than MOT so I appreciated the option of having a decent "after hours" coffee shop. I think it's still a loss to Downtown and a short-sighted move by Starbucks.
