Starbucks Eyes Historic Nottingham Arcade | Nottingham News

Starbucks is eyeing a historic spot in Nottingham’s Grade II listed Exchange Arcade, aiming to replace the shuttered Patisserie Valerie with its sixth city-center café and nearly a dozen across the wider area. The application seeks listed building consent for a 28-seat makeover featuring wood, brass, and neutral tones—designed to blend modern comfort with the arcade’s 1929 heritage. With minimal, reversible changes and a dark grey exterior, the plan balances brand expansion with preservation. Council approval is pending, sparking debate over how big brands adapt to protected spaces. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
