The Starbucks will be open much longer during the school year. I think midnight, which means it’s now a great place for me to study away from the library and perhaps get a latenight snack. Not many latenight dining options at Emory. As for the Starbucks’ ownership. I believe it’s actually owned by Starbucks, it’s not a franchise from what I was told. And as for the training, while not uncomfortable for me, it is weird seeing like 10 employees in there at once when the one in the village only has 2-3 at a given time of day. The manager is cool though. It’s actually kind of a fun environment despite all of that. It’s less noticeable/uncomfortable when the place is crowded with customers, which it has been for the past few days since its opening. You can basically ignore it when socializing w/others. As for internet, that’s not a concern to me b/c I’m a student and Emory Unplugged works just fine in there for me.

But what I really miss are Dooley’s and the little Taco Mac that none of the young ‘uns and newer folks believe was actually there behind the gas station!

What they have is: top floor = emory swag (makes sense–they are across from the admissions office). Middle floor = most square footage, has college books, med and law school books, office supplies, electronic doo-dads (earphones, laptop cases, etc) and a computer store that opens in august. Ground floor = magazines, “bookstore” type books, gift-type stuff (journals, fancy pens, etc.)

And the Starbucks has “9 to 5″ ish hours so I can see how the Village Starbucks will continue to exist.

Barnes and Noble RUN the Emory bookstore, so it is NOT going to be like a free-standing B and N.

Basically a college bookstore with a smattering of “non-scholastic” offerings. Just don’t expect it to be filled with every book which might interest you, music section, kids section etc. Not the same operation.
