Starbucks Returning to Jersey Turnpike

A java giant is preparing to make its triumphant return to the New Jersey turnpike. Starbucks, the undisputed champion of the coffee world, is reopening in the Bon Jovi Service Area this summer, reports NJ.com.

The cafe, located at Garden State Parkway Mile Post 124, has been out of commission since last year. The service area was shut down for renovations in November of 2023, but will be debuting its improvements by July of this year.

Starbucks will be joining several other well-loved eateries in the service plaza. In addition to the cafe, the Bon Jovi Service Area will be hosting Burger King, Popeye’s, Auntie Anne’s, and Nathans.

Starbucks first began caffeinating the world in 1971. The shop has since become an unstoppable java juggernaut; the chain has expanded to include 17,068 shops across the United States. Fans flock to its impressive selection of hot and cold coffee drinks, as well as its array of bakery items.
