Is there a Starbuck's in Accrington?

I don't seek an answer to suit my coffee-drinking, but a mate is keen on the stuff they sell at enormous expense and might visit the town if there is one. If there is one - where is it?

The only one I am aware of is at the College where I work but it's only open to staff and students unfortunately

Best coffee in town bob- Imposta imho, beats Costa n Starbucks .

Is that you Cashy, or is it an Imposter? The real Cashy would have said where the shop is. (No wonder you looked full of beans when I last saw you)

I've never been, but it has been recommended a lot on this forum.
I believe it is on the corner opposite the main Post Office

No Starbucks in Accy......we have Costa Coffee and Imposta.
Imposta is, in my opinion better than Costa.......and it is right across form the GPO on Abbey Street. Well worth a visit.

Costa on Broadway's not bad but I'm in with the in crowd...I go to Imposta!

May I be the first to thank our Colonial 'Bee' for that most informative post.

We have 2 Starbucks franchises on the site I work.... ( They brew Starbucks coffee rather than being full fat Starby's ) the number of people who pay a fortune for them is insane, my colleague and I buy decent coffee beans from hasbean, grumpymule and others. We shared at a grinder and brew a full cafetierre for about 30p a pot. nicer coffee and a shed loads cheaper!

Some folk haven't the sense they were born with,
who in their right mind pays that for a sup of coffee.
Cupid Stunts. If your thisty drink watter.

Why would someone just visit a town to go to a coffee shop, one Starbucks is the same as any other Starbucks. Or is the said friend rating each Starbucks shop in as many towns as possible? If your friend wants to come to Accy I would have thought it would be to pay
you a visit, or maybe see some of the sites we have to offer, ie Haworth Art Gallery, the rubbish market hall, or maybe the war memorial etc.
