Not a chain yet?
Oui!
There are chain stores in the inner Sunset already, including a Starbucks. The objection was that this was a bakery in the vicinity of another bakery.
what wrong with a little competition. There are actually 4 bakeries within 2 block radius.
AWESOME! as a home owner in the area, I am thrilled with the new restaurants and shops coming to Irving St corridor.
According to Paolo Lucchesi’s San Francisco Chronicle “Inside Scoop” blog/column, La Boulange sold to Starbucks for $100 million:
Watch out now! All those newly-minted millionaire La Boulange pâtissieres are going to start bidding up the price of Noe Valley single family homes and South Beach lofts.
Buy now before the La Boulange/Starbucks transaction closes or be priced out forever!
Brahma: Please tell me your post is a joke. I love La Boulange; please don’t let Starbucks eff it up!!!
