Texas First: Futuristic 3D-Printed Starbucks Opens

I recently had a chance to visit the first Starbucks in Seattle, Washington. There was a line out the door of people trying to get a cup of joe from the location that started a worldwide coffee phenomenon.

Now, another first for Starbucks will soon happen in Texas. According to NRN.com, the first Starbucks made completely of 3D-printed materials is opening in Brownsville, Texas.

According to the City of Brownsville's Instagram, the new Starbucks location will be a pick-up only store with a drive-thru. The 1,400 square foot building's shell was 3D printed on-site.

New 3D-Printed Starbucks Is A First For Texas

Not only is the location a first for Starbucks, but it is also a first for the City of Brownsville. Austin has had many structures made with 3D concrete printing, but for this city on the border and by the sea, it is a large milestone, and a glimpse into the future of construction.
