Exciting News: Starbucks Set to Open First Hunter Store!
Starbucks is making a grand return to the Hunter region with an ambitious plan for a new outlet in Rutherford! The global coffee giant has lodged plans with Maitland Council for a $14 million state-of-the-art store at the corner of New England Highway and John Street. This new location will feature all the modern amenities, including ample parking, a drive-through, and eye-catching signage.
This marks Starbucks’ second attempt to enter the Hunter market, following the closure of their Glendale store in 2008. The Rutherford outlet promises to be a game-changer, operating 24/7 and creating up to 25 new jobs with rotating shifts.
Stay tuned as Maitland Council reviews the proposal and decides on this exciting development!
