GLOBAL coffee chain Starbucks is understood to be creating a new shop in the heart of Stroud.
The SNJ has learned that the shop is set to be built at the top of Merrywalks Shopping Centre.
If the rumours are true, it would be one of 15 coffee shops or cafes in the town centre.
But do the people of Stroud want this multi-national corporation in their town?
We have asked our readers to give their opinions.
Do you want to see the hugely popular chain come to Stroud?
Or do you think there are already enough coffee shops in the area already?
Is this the right place for the store to open?
What will this mean for the independent shops in the area?
