NEW YORK  – “Starbucks is dipping its toe into the burger business, with plans to open an outpost of its La Boulange chain that caters to the dinner crowd,” writes the Associated Press.

Starbucks spokesperson Linda Mills told the AP that the Los Angeles La Boulange restaurant is scheduled to open June 12 and will also serve beer, wine, cocktails and milkshakes. She added that the restaurant will be the first outside of San Francisco and have a more “modern farmhouse” feel to it.

While many of the La Boulange bakery items will be the same, the menu will significantly expand to include build-your-own-burgers and other dishes that cater to the dinner crowd, writes the AP. 

The news source continues that this is the coffee chain’s “latest experiment” from with other formats outside its coffeehouses.
