2 - 1 - DSC01421 - Westminster StarbucksLast July, I mentioned that Starbucks operates a small number of concept drive-thru stores. They are either designed with shipping containers or with pre-fab construction. Out of the thousands and thousands of Starbucks in the United States and Canada, less than twenty-five are built with these unique drive-thru designs.

This article features the Westminster, California concept store from the list below, which is sixth from the bottom. You’ll find it at 15388 Goldenwest Street, in Westminster, California, and the store number is 19353. I had a great visit on January 18th. Got a delicious flat white and took all of the photos featured here. If you’ve been to this store, I’d love to know what you think!
