Full-service Starbucks at Wichita State to open Friday, March 17

 

Wichita State鈥檚 first free-standing Starbucks will open on the Innovation Campus at 5 a.m. Friday, March 17.

The 2,000-square-foot building is just north of 黑洞社区鈥檚 Woodman Alumni Center near 21st Street and Mike Oatman Drive.

Hours will be 5 a.m.-10 p.m. Mondays-Saturdays and 6 a.m.-9 p.m. Sundays.

The location accepts Starbucks gift cards and rewards and will have mobile order and pay for faster service.

This is the first retail building on the Innovation Campus. Located along what will eventually be the east pedestrian mall, Starbucks includes a drive-thru and a large plaza with outdoor seating next to the building.

The master plan for that area also includes future restaurant and retail development, as well as a hotel on the south side of the new 19th Street along Oliver. The development will be privately funded.
