New York Post • • general
Key Points:
- A Starbucks location in Burbank, known locally as “Bobbucks” due to its proximity to Bob’s Big Boy on Riverside Drive, is closing after nearly 30 years, with its final day of service on Saturday at 9:30 p.m.
- Customers have expressed nostalgia for the store’s unique freestanding design, large windows, and natural light, which made it feel more connected to the neighborhood compared to other Starbucks locations.
- The closure has drawn appreciation from the community, including a local Instagram account, Preserve Burbank, which thanked the staff for their service and noted the store will be missed in both Toluca Lake and Burbank.
- This closure coincides with Starbucks’ announcement of plans to shut down 250 underperforming stores across North America, although it is unclear if the Riverside Drive location is included in this latest round.
