Albemarle County
“Coffee drinkers may not be hard-pressed to find a fast
option to get some caffeine by the end of the year. New construction on Pantops
Mountain in Albemarle County will house a drive-thru Starbucks Coffee shop. The
construction site is next to the Rivanna Ridge Shopping center, home to the
Giant supermarket and current Starbucks store, at the intersection of Rolkin
and Abbey roads.
Sources say the drive-thru coffee shop is part of the plans
for that complex, which is currently a pile of dirt. Starbucks will move across
the street to its new location, but there is no word on what will take the
place of the coffee shop in the existing shopping center. Sketches show a few
other businesses are planned for the space, but there's no official word on
what they may be.
Signs posted in the area say the center will be done by the
end of the year. Over the past few years, Pantops has seen a lot of
development, most notably the addition of the new Martha Jefferson Hospital in
2011.”
