Starbucks Bethesda grand opening (Photos)

Starbucks is now open at 7200 Wisconsin Avenue. The new store celebrated with a grand opening event yesterday afternoon. There was free food, and live music from a string quartet. The painting on the wall of the store is Polinizadores by Jade Rivera of Lima, Peru, who says, "You may discover a new emotion within when standing in front of this painting." Another very talented artist is right on the premises: check out the sandwich board art promoting the limited-time fall drinks.

Goodbye forever, old Starbucks

New Bethesda Starbucks opening delayed

The newest Starbucks in downtown Bethesda at 7200 Wisconsin Avenue missed its August 20 opening date, and still has not opened as of this writing. Everything looks the same inside as it did a couple of weeks ago. When it does open, it will replace the current store across Bethesda Avenue.

The slow walk to completion of the newest downtown Bethesda Starbucks at 7200 Wisconsin Avenue continues. More shipping boxes, tables and chairs have arrived. And I have a close-up of the large artwork on the wall. The hummingbird you may have seen on some Starbucks cups and their Veranda coffee bags, but a sprite holding something that looks like a key with the handle broken off is riding it near a coffee plant.

This location will eventually replace the existing Starbucks across Bethesda Avenue.

Starbucks just made it official. As I first reported in February, a new Starbucks is opening at 7200 Wisconsin Avenue in downtown Bethesda.
