Starbucks Comparison
How often do people come across public places, which either represent the same service or is the same service? There are many public places with duplicates scattered throughout the same state, the U.S., or the entire world. Though many people, if not all, have encountered two of the same places, how many of them have actually stopped to realize how similar or different they really are? For example, Starbucks. How different can any two Starbucks really be? This essay will reflect on comparing and contrasting two different Starbucks in towns right next to one another. The first Starbucks I went to this past week was in Crestwood, the second in Oak Lawn. The first one will be referred to as The Crestwood Starbucks and the second will be The Oak Lawn Starbucks. I sat down at each one with a pen and paper looking at the obvious and the hidden features of the two coffee houses. Both, the Crestwood Starbucks and the Oak Lawn Starbucks, are located off of main streets in a little plaza center with a few other mini stores. The Crestwood Starbucks is off of Cicero Ave.; it is place between a pizza place, cigarette store, a dry cleaners, and a Boston Market. The Oak Lawn Starbucks is located off
Both Starbucks also have a mural painted don the wall. If every Starbucks from the outside is the same, the inside would be the same too, right? Wrong. Places are like people, they may appear to be similar but in the inside they really are different. They held the same things and looked the same but there was just a larger quantity at the Oak Lawn Starbucks. However, there is a movie theatre located near the Crestwood Starbucks, which would also attract people of younger ages. The similarities and differences I observed from the atmosphere of these two places is based on the point in time that I was there. Behind the register was a very noticeable change. The locations of these two places do not play much of a role in attracting a particular age group; however, I am not originally from these towns, but have hung out around them for some time. The entrances were diagonal from the register area and there was a black rug at the entrance and in front of the registers. They have two light brown tables with a chess board painted on the top in a dark brown, and vice-versa; possible to draw the customers to stay longer in hopes for them to purchase more. Both were mixed with males and females. The layouts of the two I compared and contrasted were both of an "L" shape. of 95th street; near a Hollywood video, Bedding Experts, and Cingular. The register counters to both places were a mahogany color brown.
