Funeral Home Opens On-Site Starbucks
New York Daily News, Friday, July 13, 2012 9:31 AM
The Robinson Funeral Home in Easley, S.C., is opening a mini Starbucks on its premises, complete with Starbucks-trained baristas and the company’s official menu. General Manager Chris Robinson thinks the new cafe space will provide an extra comfort to people dealing with the loss of their loved ones. "If this provides them a little escape, and gives them a break from the stress they're going through, then that's what it's all about, is to make them feel better," Robinson told local TV station WSPA.
