Has anyone heard about Starbucks moving into 200 North Tampa Street (Tampa/Jackson corner)? It's the space currently occupied by the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, but they are supposed to be moving next door. Creative Loafing mentioned it briefly in an article on Skypoint and I hadn't heard anything about it before.

This would be closer to most CBD workers than the Embassy Suites location and is on a pretty good sized intersection. Would be good news.

Here's the article you're referring to -

...and here's the quote -
"Last week, Novare-intown -- a joint venture between Atlanta's Novare Group and Tampa's intowngroup -- installed a new public art project at SkyPoint, the glass-and-concrete tower whose completion some are seeing as the critical component for adding residents to downtown Tampa. (For the doubters: SkyPoint's debut coincides with the arrival of downtown's first stand-alone Starbucks, to be located at the southwest corner of Tampa and Jackson streets in the space currently occupied by the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, which will relocate next door.)"

First I've heards about it, but you're right - that would seem to be a prime location.

If we get a Starbucks there, I will be there every day.
