WILLINGBORO – Welcome back, Starbucks.
The chain best known for its sweet and caffeinated brews is back in Willingboro. Starbucks officially opened at Willingboro Town Center on Valentine's Day Feb. 14, not far from the site of a previous Starbucks location.
The brand-new Starbucks is at 4380 Route 130 North, Suite A and B, across the parking lot from a Pizza Hut, T-Mobile, Salon Duo and more.
A line of customers was in the drive-thru on a recent Sunday afternoon, with more cars were pulling up regularly to the new restaurant.
The former Starbucks in this area was located across an entranceway from where the current one is found. This old Starbucks closed in 2008 after only a few years in town.

The site where the new Starbucks was built was previously approved for restaurant use as part of the Willingboro Town Center shopping center, but for a time the site was an undeveloped and vacant pad.
All access to the site is from Campbell Drive, with no direct access from Route 130.
Another new business is added to the town center
The town center has added quite a few new businesses over the last few years, including 1911 Smokehouse Barbeque restaurant, Chase Bank, Roots dispensary and more.
Residential developments are currently being built within a 5-6 mile radius of the Starbucks, including several Burlington Township apartment and townhouse properties.
New housing has come into Willingboro as well since the other Starbucks closed.
Two other Starbucks stores are nearby. One is located 4 miles away, down Route 130 in Delran, and another approximately 5 miles away in Burlington Township along Route 541.
