Drive-thru Starbucks Progress Highlights Local Plans
A new drive-thru Starbucks site on West Sixth Street in Lawrence nears opening as the space is leased for 1,900 square feet within a larger building. Attorneys say interior work and final opening timing remain uncertain, with 60 days as a rough estimate. The shop sits in a special tax district funding local infrastructure. Officials consider a $60,000 to $80,000 annual marketing budget to attract higher-end retirees to Lawrence and Douglas County, with the Kern Group contracted to develop a regional strategy.

City and county back retiree attraction plan spending
Lawmakers outline a marketing contract led by Mark Kern to develop a slogan logo and materials for retirees with a $34,500 cost split by city and county. Annual advertising budgets could be 60 000 to 80 000 dollars for two to five years with private partners funding part of it. The plan ties to restructuring the Douglas County Senior Services Board to oversee the site and retiree efforts and may push for a 55 000 salary director plus 15 000 to 25 000 top up.
