Starbucks At 7th And Indiana NW (325 7th Street NW) Closed Until Late March
Many Penn Quarter neighborhood residents still mourn the loss of our Starbucks at 7th & E Streets NW. When it closed its doors on February 7, PQ Living wanted to know “Why? And for how long?”
We turned to a Starbucks spokesperson, who assured us that Store #100, the Liberty Place location just down the road at 325 7th St NW, is “undergoing a major renovation to ensure Starbucks is meeting the needs of its Penn Quarter customers.” Good news for coffee and egg bite lovers!
