This is a quick confirmation of an old rumor that Cameron Mitchell was planning a new restaurant concept for part of the retail space on the ground floor of the Yukon Studio Lofts project in the Short North.
The concept, of which the name has escaped me, is to be some type of a wine bar with an extended menu focused on Italian cuisine if my memory serves me correctly.
And as a footnote, although I have limited information, Starbucks is expected to visit the Victorian Village Commission to address some parking variances next month for their potential spot in the Yukon building too.

Cameron Mitchell concept and Starbucks coming to Short North

That sucks that Starbucks is moving in there to directly compete with Cup O’Joe again!
Nice to see them get tenants, but I wish it could be something else.
Starbucks will be real close to both Cup O’Joe/MoJoe and to the Coffee Table (which has already been selling “Friends Don’t Let Friends Go to Starbucks” bumper stickers for several years now :wink: ). Both those places seem to do decent business, but I hope that won’t change with the arrival of Starbucks. I don’t hate Starbucks, but I like Cup O’Joe and Coffee Table better, and would hate to see either one go out of business.
I suppose the new Starbucks is also only a few blocks from the Starbucks next to Nationwide Arena (although that one seems to keep limited hours).
Some coffee options already near by
Short North continues it’s conversion from bohemian to posh.
Isn’t there a Martini’s Italian restaurant just a couple blocks down, which is also a CM restaurant? Seems a bit much.
LoL…funny because its true.
In the end, it’s up to the people there to decide with their wallets. If they don’t want a Starbucks, a low number of customers will show that.
Yeah, that’s pretty much the cycle with any sort of neighborhood revamp, isn’t it? The artists move in first because it’s cheap and turn the area “bohemian”. Next come the gays who spend time and money prettying the area up. And next comes the richer folk who are the only ones who can afford to live there since the property values have shot way way up.
So I guess this means the next step in the cycle will be the criminal element that comes along to steal from the richer folks there and thus turn the neighborhood back into what it was 30 years ago as everyone rich flees to somewhere else. :lol:
the “no starbuck’s” thing never really works. When they opened one up here in the Village right across the street from Cup O’ Joe I knew TONS of people who vowed never to go. They now go every single day, and that Starbuck’s is always packed.
Yeah. I think the Starbucks and Cup O’ Joe in German Village are existing across the street from each other pretty peacefully. And each of them seem to have enough customers to thrive.
As for this new one in the Short North, I don’t think it will cause as much of a stir as people think it will. There are enough people in the neighborhood who want coffee, and with new residential developments there’s just going to be more people to come. I doubt any of these shops will go out of business because of the potential Starbucks.
Also, Cup O Joe is also “Mojoe Lounge”, so they cater to a completely different crowd at night. So unless Starbucks adds a bar and djs and stays open VERY late, they’re going to have a different draw.
Starbucks must do its market research by tracking the traffic of indie coffee shops. If seen pattern of opening across the street from another store often enough in other cities. Starbucks doesn’t seem concerned to drive the indie shops out of business — they don’t compete on price. But the indies seem to establish that there’s enough traffic to put a store in a neighborhood.
Yeah, with Mojoe taken into account, they really offer two different products. In addition, Starbucks makes you pay for internet – that’s a huge plus for Joe/Staufs/et al.
But even so, there are places in Chicago with Starbucks literally on opposite street corners! I think there’s plenty of room – we can’t get enough coffee.
Starbuck’s makes you pay for internet????????
(yeah, I don’t really go there much…I’m a Wild Bean Cafe guy in the mornings because Starbuck’s isn’t open yet).
For some reason a lot of places still do. Which is dumb because it’s getting to the point where you can find a few different open networks to hop on no matter where you’re at.
I can walk through German Village with my “Wireless Network Wardialer” (aka: Nintendo DS) and hit an open network on just about every corner. I imagine the Short North is the same way. :D
