TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, August 28, 2013
Greetings Infomaniacs,On Friday, my cousin is going to take us on a tour of Seattle, and one of the stops will be Pike Place, a huge public market. Pike place is home to the original Starbucks Coffee store, which opened in 1971.
Of course, I will have to pay a visit there, even though I'm not a huge fan of their coffee. It's one of those touristy things you have to do!
On that note, here are some fun facts about Starbucks for you today...
Enjoy!
