Starbucks Unveils New Accessible Store Design: Come for the Coffee, Stay for the Inclusion

A Coffee Shop for All

Starbucks has just launched a new store design that not only caters to coffee lovers but also promotes accessibility and inclusion. Finally a place where everyone can enjoy their favorite latte regardless of their abilities!

Design for Disabilities Win for Humanity

The new Starbucks store design is a perfect blend of good design and inclusivity. Sara Trilling president of Starbucks North America rightly pointed out that "designing for disabilities is just good design for everybody." Who knew that a cup of coffee could bring people together in such a harmonious way?

Building a More Inclusive Coffee Experience

Starbucks took two years to develop this groundbreaking store design ensuring that it meets the needs of all customers. From power operated doors for easy access to adjustable angle stands and voice assist for seamless ordering Starbucks has gone above and beyond to create a welcoming environment.

Brewing Inclusion One Cup at a Time

But Starbucks didn't stop at the entrance. They made sure that the entire coffee experience is accessible even behind the counter. The new Clover Vertica system features a user friendly design allowing customers to feel the settings by touch. It's innovation like this that truly shows Starbucks' commitment to inclusivity.

No More Waiting in the Dark

Gone are the days of straining your eyes to see the menu or waiting in the shadows for your drink. Starbucks has upgraded their store lighting to minimize glare and backlighting making it easier for everyone to navigate and enjoy their coffee. It's a bright idea don't you think?

A Coffee Shop without Obstacles

In addition to the improved lighting Starbucks has designed their stores to be obstacle free with open floor plans and clear sightlines. No more dodging tables or bumping into chairs. It's like a coffee lover's dream come true.
