A Second Starbucks Is Coming to LaLaport Koshien Opening September 25

It looks like a second Starbucks location is coming to the 1st floor of LaLaport Koshien.
(Thanks to Neesan for the tip.)

We went to check out the shop right away〜↓

This notice was apparently posted at the Starbucks in front of Hanshin Koshien Station!

Starbucks Coffee
LaLaport Koshien 1st Floor Store
NEW OPEN on Tuesday, September 25

There’s already one on the 2nd floor, so that means there will be two Starbucks locations〜🙌

Right now, there are around four or five vacant tenant spaces on the 1st floor of LaLaport Koshien,

and judging from the star mark on the map shown on the notice…

It seems pretty likely that it will be near the stadium-side entrance〜! Just guessing, though. Sorry if this turns out to be wrong🙏

This spot used to be home to the pancake specialty shop Butter.

In Closing

Two Starbucks locations at LaLaport! And the announcement came just two weeks before opening, so the timing is surprisingly last-minute😳 If it really does open by the entrance, it’ll be easy to drop by, and it’ll probably get super busy on game days too〜⚾ The opening is scheduled for Tuesday, September 25.

*Neesan, thank you for the tip!!
