Students buzzing about Starbucks’ new alcohol and dinner won’t be getting their fix on campus.
After 4 each evening, some Starbucks around the country will now serve alcohol and a dinner menu. The night menu is only available in certain locations, mainly around big cities like Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Los Angeles, Seattle and Chicago, according to the Starbucks website.
Jon Lewis, director of Ball State Dining, said Ball State has no plans to start selling alcohol at the L.A. Pittenger Student Center location.
“I have no reason to do it — they haven’t contacted us, either,” he said. “It’s a new thing for Starbucks, and I don’t believe they’ll require their franchises to do it.”
However, Muncie’s Starbucks could start selling alcohol soon.
Amanda Geon, manager at the McGalliard Road store, said although Starbucks has not approached her, she would make the change.
“I like what it brings to the stores,” she said. “It’s very professional and classy the way they have it set up.”
