I just wonder why Starbucks is moving out of Borders in the first place. They seem to be always very busy in there. Busier than the Starbucks across the street in Puainako Mall which isn't being closed.

Probably because the Borders coffee store is closed during the morning rush (because the bookstore itself is closed). Even though Borders seems busier at other times, that 6-9am slot is really lucrative - lots of people coming through, and no dallying taking up couch space.

Personally, I am determined to avoid any coffee store that can't manage to toast a bagel...
