Former Starbucks (St. George, Louisiana)

Closed fast food restaurants is something I was always familiar with, by 2008 I could recognize the corpse of, say, a Wendy's, but a closed Starbucks was unheard of. That was the case of the Starbucks Coffee at 9837 Bluebonnet Boulevard which I came across in December 2008 (it had closed a month before). It was only operational for a little over a year, but luckily Starbucks Everywhere got a photo of it (which has proved helpful in research). By 2013 it had reopened as Dunkin' Donuts, but that failed within five years, and in spring 2019 it became Poké City (poke bowls). However, that appears to have been another COVID-19 victim. By early 2022 it became a Domino's, with the drive-through lane now used as a pick-up lane.
