Starbucks Drive-Thru Sparks Galway Pushback | Galway News

A new Starbucks drive-through is set to open in Galway’s Terryland, just 1.3km from the existing Quay Street location, sparking backlash from locals and the Galway Commuter Coalition.

The council is accepting public comments until September 16, with a decision due by October 7 — as the petition against the drive-through already hits 45 signatures in its first hour.
