"The shoals" metropolitan area is 145,000. We have UNA, northwest shoals, and many other businesses. It's an educated community. We have plenty of the so called "latte educated drinkers" as noted by many of the other local coffee shops. So, why no Starbucks? Florence, near UNA, would be a great place. The old backyard burger location seems ideal. Near una, downtown, and the bridge. I believe it would do well. I know plenty of people who feel the same way.
