(03/06/18) New! Starbucks Coffee Shop from Menards!

Any layouts depicting the modern Pacific NW could use a large number of these coffee shops, since they’re everywhere here!!

Alright, I have to ask.  Which wall wart is the correct one to keep this store lit? 2000mA, 5000mA?

     Great question.  IMO, Menards has had PLENTY of time to address the issue of power requirements, yet seem to ignore the issue of lack of info on power requirements exists.  We may be able to figure it out, but what about those who had no forum to learn from? How many folks out there didn't get lucky?  Is ten year old Johnny crying on his darkened building?

I have to admit to a big drop in confidence myself.

  I couldn't find anything of interest for myself this last year, not even a flat car as they are all long cars, or have loads I don't care for now.  (back to used for the value per $  )

I figure Menards should release a set of 2 Starbucks stores and a Lewis Black figure to stand between them in ranting pose....

I think MTH could make a nice tricked out corner coffee shop, They have the building for it already.

if they have not already.

Department 56 makes this, its called "Nighthawks".

Question for Mark the Menards Train Guy:

Will Menards be doing an HO scale of the Starbucks also?  They've done some O and HO versions of the great products so hopefully this Starbucks will be one of those too.

Hi Kevin,

We do plan to make an HO version but I don't have a timeline for this yet.

If you sign up to receive our HO train emails (if you haven't already), we can keep you posted! Just click on the box next to "HO Gauge Trains & Buildings".

Mark,

Sell them as a 5 pack for the modern modelers! They're on every other corner and inside stores too

There was a joke in a movie a few years ago.....a newly wed coupe is asked how they met. The man says 'At Starbucks.....I was standing in one store and I saw her waiting in line at the Starbucks across the street'. So a 5 pack might work!!
