U.S. Funeral Home To Sell Starbucks Coffee

Starbucks Coffee

U.S. Funeral Home To Sell Starbucks Coffee - The high street coffee chain Starbucks has a reputation for having an outlet on every corner but there are some places where you just wouldn't expect to see one.

A funeral home for example.

Well believe it or not that is exactly the location for the coffee giant's newest franchise.

Robinson Funeral Home in Easley, South Carolina, is taking customer service to a whole new level - for the living that is.

Grieving families will be able to seek comfort in a warm cup of freshly brewed coffee, in Robinson's appropriately named 'Coffee Corner', amid business offices and a chapel.

"People thought he had overbuilt at the time," said Robinson, general manager and vice president of Robinson Funeral Home. "He was very forward thinking because we utilized that building for years."
