In the past two days, many Guangzhou netizens posted on social media that Starbucks 'Xinghai Concert Hall store on Ersha Island has recently closed and closed forever.

In the memory of surrounding residents, this Starbucks Zhenxuan store opened in 2010. During its 15 years of operation, staff participating in the performance, spectators attending the performance at Xinghai Concert Hall, and passers-by walking and playing nearby passed by this pleasant environment. When the store is pleasant, it will be attracted to stop by it. Guests often sit in the sun in the open-air guest area and enjoy a moment of time.

They said that although this Starbucks located in Ersha Island is not often packed as crowded as shopping malls in the city, the store's customer flow and operating conditions have always been good, and it has gradually become one of the landmark cafes in Ersha Island in the eyes of many people.

Therefore, when they learned that the Starbucks store, which was 15 years adjacent to Xinghai Music Hall, had been permanently closed due to the expiration of its lease, many users were quite surprised and couldn't hide their shock."I drank it yesterday, but it's gone today.","I didn't expect to go to see it for the last two weeks last week and became a swan song","I just heard that the store was closing the day before yesterday, and I started to clean it up yesterday, but it's empty today...","I still have a drink there the afternoon before yesterday."

After hearing the news, many people wanted to rush to the store to have a last drink and check in to commemorate them. However, on January 15, they saw on-site construction workers removing the store's signboards and decoration, and the seating equipment in the huge coffee shop had been moved away. They lamented that the old store that has been in operation for many years had not posted a store closure notice in advance, so that the store was closed quietly, which caught people unprepared and did not give old users any time to miss checking in.

While sighing, some netizens also noticed that in recent times, Starbucks stores in many cities, such as Jiangmen Jinlanhai Store, Beijing Shengjing Building Store, Changzhou Fengchen International Plaza Store, Chengdu Ocean Center Store, etc., were all sold on a certain day. Local citizens discovered that the store was closed. Among these stores that have quietly disappeared, some are the first hand-made stores in the city, some are old stores that have been in business for more than 10 years, and some are office stores with a high number of people.

For many coffee lovers, Starbucks is the leader in their entry into the coffee world. Many people are curious and interested by the first cup of Starbucks coffee they buy and begin to understand coffee-related knowledge. At the same time, Starbucks, which provides comfortable space seats, also accompanied student parties, migrant workers, etc. to spend an unforgettable time, witnessing important moments in the lives of some regular customers.

Therefore, when residents who often visit these Starbucks stores pass by one day, they find staff coming in and out to remove machinery and equipment. When they see the mottled traces of demolition on the walls where decorative paintings were once hung, they can't help but feel a little sorry for the sight of people leaving the building empty, and lamented that a coffee shop of special significance to them had disappeared quietly from the city.
