Jo’s out-javas those others
That’s the conclusion to draw, I think, from the fact that Starbucks has announced its plans to shutter some 600 of its outlets around the nation, that only two on the big closure list are in Austin, and that one of those two has been in a geographic face-off with local favorite Jo’s Hot Coffee on South Congress.

Starbucks just released the full official list today.

Madison Ave., 1218 N. 45th St., and the “Northgate Mall II” store. No timetable is mentio read
