Starbucks, stuck in the Lifestyle era

The Starbucks corner hasn't been touched since Safeway left, down to the old Lifestyle beige paint and grey trim on its section of wall. At least the main logo was updated (probably while Safeway was still here), but the other signage still uses the pre-2011 logo, something that's increasingly rare on this side of the border. A lot of that is probably because Save-On-Foods doesn't normally have Starbucks (or any sort of coffee kiosk) inside their stores -- that doesn't seem to be a common Canadian thing outside of the stores where Safeway brought it with them from the US.
