10 Tweets Reacting To The Looming Closure Of Starbucks In Howth

Starbucks on Harbour Road, Howth, is closing.

As it turns out, the owners hadn't gotten planning permission to change the use of their property from a bike shop into a Starbucks.

It will close in four weeks time, The Irish Times revealed yesterday, and people's reactions are quite contrasting – but pretty gas.

amazing news. There are at least dozen independent coffee places in Howth that serve superb coffee. Fuck starbucks.
