Are pick-up locations the new trend? Starbucks is opening more pick-up-only locations around the city.
The first-ever spot in Canada opened around two years ago in Commerce Court, and now the second location just opened at 39 East Liberty in Toronto.
Two more pick-up-only stores are opening, according to the Starbucks site, which are at 203 College and 1030 Queen West. There isn’t a specific timeframe for these quite yet, but it does say “coming soon.”
Although there really isn’t a major change for customers, it’s basically just a more convenient way to get your Starbucks fixing on the go.
All you have to do is use the app and make a mobile order, which can consist of both beverages and food, to the pick-up only location.
According to a representative of Starbucks who spoke to Daily Hive, “When they arrive at the store, customers can track the status of their order on a digital screen in the store and then pick up their order directly from a Starbucks barista.”
I’m sure we’ll see a ton of these opening across the city as that’s part of the reason why Starbucks started closing a bunch of locations two years ago.

Raise your hand if you absolutely despise waiting in a long line at Starbucks. Exactly. You’re probably stuck behind someone with a long list of complicated coffee orders and if you’re under-caffeinated, this process can be excruciating. However, Starbucks has heard our cries and is opening a pick-up only location in Toronto.
This is Starbucks’ second pick-up only location but it’s the first one in Canada. The first is located in New York City.
“This unique location was designed for an order-ahead experience,” says Michael Conway, president of Starbucks Canada. “Customers who Mobile Order & Pay with their Starbucks Rewards app will know exactly when their order is ready (thanks to a digital board that displays order status) and can pick up their handcrafted beverage and food items directly from a Starbucks barista.”
While the new store won’t be outfitted with seating, there will be display screens that’ll show order statuses so customers will know exactly when their orders are ready.
The new Starbucks pick-up only location will be located in Commerce Court and is set to open February 4.
To join in on this new Starbucks excitement, just select PICKUP – Commerce Court when you’re ordering in the Starbucks app.
The pick-up only location will be open Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
