Starbucks Niceville is receiving its finishing touches today as employees prepare to open to the public first thing Friday morning, August 25.

“We’re definitely opening Friday morning,” said Stephanie Jergens, manager of the Niceville Starbucks. “We open at 4:30 a.m.”

While Starbucks coffee has been available for some time at Northwest Florida State College, the Niceville store is the community’s first full-fledged Starbucks.

The Niceville Starbucks looks like you would expect: pretty much like other locations. It features a theme which pays tribute to our military.
