Early risers in Mt. Juliet are about to get another caffeine lifeline. A new Starbucks is set to open Monday in Suite 100 at 2059 N. Mt. Juliet Road, near Providence Marketplace, complete with a drive-thru tailored to the pre-work traffic grind. City officials say the shop will be managed by Wendy Charak and will serve customers from the early morning hours into the evening.
City Post Lays Out Opening Details
In a Facebook announcement, the City of Mt. Juliet confirmed the new Starbucks will operate daily from 4:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., include a drive-thru lane and be led locally by store manager Wendy Charak. The post, which tells residents they “heard it here first, Mt. Juliet,” lists Monday as the official opening day for the location and serves as the city’s main public notice about the new coffee spot.
Where The Store Will Sit
Leasing and listing information for 2059 N. Mt. Juliet Road describes the address as a newly developed, multi-tenant retail corner positioned for heavy morning and afternoon traffic, according to CityFeet. The site sits at a prominent corner at N. Mt. Juliet Road and East Division and offers surface parking and nearby transit access, a setup that helps explain why it landed a drive-thru coffee tenant. Other eateries, including Spud & Butter, list the same address, signaling the building is part of an already active retail strip.
How This Fits With Starbucks' Tennessee Push
The Mt. Juliet opening comes as Starbucks makes a broader play in Middle Tennessee. The company has announced a Southeast corporate office in Nashville and roughly $100 million in investment aimed at supporting regional expansion, according to the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development. State and company officials have cast the Nashville hub as a way to speed up store growth and hiring across the Southeast, putting the Mt. Juliet shop in the context of a much larger rollout.
Local Options And Hiring
Mt. Juliet is not exactly hurting for coffee choices from the brand already. Existing Starbucks locations at 621 S. Mt. Juliet Rd. and inside the Target at 401 S. Mt. Juliet Rd. are listed in business directories, and locals have come to lean on them for early commutes, drive-thru runs and midday pick-me-ups. The new store adds another option to that caffeine circuit, particularly for drivers cutting through the busy N. Mt. Juliet Road corridor.
Employment sites show Starbucks hiring around Mt. Juliet, and some job postings specifically reference the 2059 N. Mt. Juliet Rd. address and nearby store numbers, indicating staffing is underway for the new location and others in the area, according to searches on Breakroom and other employment platforms. For local job seekers, that means more barista and shift roles coming online as the company grows its footprint.
What To Expect
For now, the City of Mt. Juliet’s Facebook announcement is the go-to place for official details on the new Starbucks, including the opening schedule and operating hours. Residents looking for updates on any ribbon-cutting plans or changes to the posted hours will likely see those adjustments reflected first in that city post as the store settles into its spot on N. Mt. Juliet Road.
