local man fails to save Starbucks, earth still revolves around sun
Local micro-celerbrity Andrew El-Kadi took on ‘corporate America,’ and, not so surprisingly – lost.
File it under causes not worth fighting; but Andrew El-Kadi – who interestingly enough mustered more names on a petition to save the 85th street Starbucks than preservationists could to save the Green Church – will have his last ices espresso there sometime this week, according to the Brooklyn Paper.
When not serving ice lattes and foamed coffee floats to ginzoloons coming for their morning fix before spending all day in Pilo Arts getting Brazilian bikini waxes – the rookie Starbucks is being ravaged by knucklehead hooligans from Fort Hamilton high school.
The 85th street Starbucks is Bay Ridge’s newest, first, and only franchise to close in Bay Ridge as part of the 600 store nationwide downsize.
