Starbucks To Potentially Open In Patchogue: Report

PATCHOGUE, NY — A new Starbucks could potentially be coming to Patchogue soon.

Last week, Five Point Real Estate announced that Bargain Bilge Marine Supply on 159 W. Main Street was sold for over $2 million.

Most recently, the building's owner George Emrick told the Long Island Advance that he sold the nearly 1-acre property to the major coffee-shop chain.

"It’s a prime location and the gateway to Patchogue," Emrick told the Long Island Advance. "This is my legacy and I wanted to see something cool here not just sell to the highest bidder."

After an original plan to build a hotel in the area fell through, Starbucks presented plans to create a new 2,000-square-foot store with a drive-through and outdoor dining, according to the report.

Patchogue currently only has one Starbucks in the Waverly Plaza on North Service Road. The next closest locations for the chain are in Bayport, Sayville, and Medford.
