Tomorrow’s News Today is reporting details in the recently report closure of 80 Caribou Coffee stores across the country.  The ABC article that we linked to yesterday only said that the coffee shop was retreating from Georgia and didn’t offer details as to which locations would simply close up and which would be converted to Peet’s Coffee Shops.  Well Eli’s got the scoop, as usual…

I was able to learn the locations that will close entirely and based on my own experience and knowledge of the areas, at least two surprised me. Caribou’s North Druid Hills at LaVista Roads location, near Toco Hills as well as their Norcross location at The Forum, are both slated for closure April 14th. The Toco Hills location shares a former Pollo Tropical with Einstein Bros. Bagels, and despite competition from literally all sides (Dunkin’ Donuts, Starbucks, Bagel Palace, Goldberg’s, Atlanta Coffee Roasters), seemed to always be busy.

Also, I can’t show it here because it’s copyrighted, but I found this cute pic on Flickr of all the coffee shop signs at that LaVista/N. Druid intersection that I thought I’d share.
