A Publix supermarket in Winter Park, Florida, recently installed a Starbucks kiosk directly inside the store. While it is no secret that many shoppers get hungry while buying groceries, now they can also get their daily caffeine fix at the same time.
The Starbucks kiosk at Publix's Winter Park Village store is a full-service counter located next to the deli. The cafe sells Starbucks' signature drinks, breakfast sandwiches and select bakery items. The new coffee kiosk is the first of its kind at a Publix location and the brand plans to install similar Starbucks cafes inside four of its other supermarkets.
Publix's new in-store cafes ultimately make the supermarket a more attractive destination for shoppers as it allows them to grab their favorite Starbucks drink while simultaneously running errands.
