Even with six standalone Starbucks shops and four located inside Target and Albertsons grocery stores, you can still expect to wait in a line of several people at any given time. In many cases, stopping for coffee means chancing running late unless you order through the mobile app ahead of time.

The addition of this centrally located Starbucks Coffee shop should help lessen the load of the surrounding shops, but more importantly, it's helping revitalize an otherwise vacant building.

New Starbucks Coffee Shop Opening in Midtown Lafayette

Remember Wendy's on Johnston Street, which eventually became Burger Tyme? Well, that will soon be the new home of a new Starbucks Coffee shop. The building has been vacant since December 23rd, 2023, so seeing the space revamped for a new business will be a great change for the area.

Developing Lafayette reported that Charles Cornay with Stirling Properties confirmed that the former Burger Tyme location at 3300 Johnston Street will be demolished within the next few weeks.

He hopes the project breathes new life into that portion of Johnston Street. As of now, they are projecting to complete the project sometime this summer.

Further down, the brand-new commercial space, The Forum, is bringing an upscale shopping, dining, and entertainment space to 4533 Johnston Street. This 50 million dollar project was also done in an effort to revitalize that side of Lafayette as the city continues to grow toward Youngsville and Abbeville.

Stay tuned for more updates about an opening date for the new Midtown Lafayette Starbucks in the future.
