Starbucks with drive-through approved for Walmart plaza

Dec 12, 2019

The Zoning Board of Appeals granted permission for developers to build a Starbucks with a drive-through in front of Walmart on Wednesday night.

The Starbucks will be located next to the currently under-construction Aspen Dental, and be accessible by an entrance from Cranberry Highway and from Walmart’s driveway.

While customers would be able to get straight onto Cranberry Highway from the Starbucks parking lot, they would not be able to turn left. To turn left, customers would need to exit through Tobey Road.

The developers, Wareham Retail Management LLC, conducted an extensive traffic study for nights, weekends, and Saturdays, and said that the main traffic impact from the Starbucks would be in the morning, when other stores and restaurants in the area generally have fewer customers.
