Starbucks has leased a 3.1k sf store in Avondale, AZ. The store, located at 10655 W. Indian School Rd, features the Valley’s first-ever Starbucks double drive through with two order points.
The lease relocates Starbucks from an adjacent, undersized store. The new location fronts Indian School Road just east of 107th Ave and west of the Loop 101 Fwy. The building was previously occupied by a KFC but had been vacant for over four years. The new lease renovates and repositions the building for its new use by Starbucks.
Bryan Babits and Bryan Ledbetter with Western Retail Advisors represented the landlord, Atlas BL Avondale LLC, owned by Laguna Hills-based property management firm Atlas Properties. Lance Umble with Phoenix Commercial Advisors repped Starbucks.
“This new location gave Starbucks the store size it required but could only stack three or four vehicles in its single drive through lane – far below what was needed to manage the anticipated traffic at this site,” said Babits. “Creating a double drive through is a great example of Starbucks’ creativity, overcoming an operational challenge and already contributing to a 26% jump in sales at this new address.”
A leading U.S. retail market, Phoenix at the start of Q2 2023 had absorbed 4.1 msf of retail space year-over-year – the strongest absorption since the start of the Great Recession, according to CoStar. The market currently sits at an overall retail vacancy rate of just 5%.
Starbucks anticipates it will reach 45,000 stores by the end of 2025 with a mix of potential models. One of those models could include drive-through-only, underscoring the importance of drive-through activity to the chain’s overall success.
