You can take them hot to go!
Zero hour, 8 a.m, February 10th: Holbrook-residential Chiefs haters rejoiced in ordering their post-Super Bowl cup of joe.
Meanwhile, Swifties queued up “Folklore” melancholy to get ahead of their case of “The Mondays.” Each group took comfort in knowing their servers on this day had their eyes and efforts expressly on them: the “on-the-go” commuters.
In case you missed it, this date brought forth the first standard "doubled-sided drive-thru only" Starbucks location in the U.S. According to reports, one drive-thru lane is dedicated to mobile order pick-up, with the other dedicated to traditional drive-thru ordering.
No lounging on a work break or writing a “this will have made it all worth it” screenplay on the long and winding road called the modern-day job hunt is possible at Shops at Sunvet-located store, per the parent company’s commitment to testing new concepts.
While an East Setauket Starbucks location also operates as a drive-thru only, this was not done in conjunction with Starbucks' rollout initiative.
Holbrook’s “Starbucks Go” arrives the same week Buffalo Wild Wings followed through on its promise to unveil a “Go” counterpart in downtown Patchogue just in time for the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 9th.
Die-hards and casual fans of America’s pastime alike were pleased to find they could pull up to 125 E. Main Street and either mobile-order or in-person select their requests the old-fashioned way.
The dressed-down decor exists as a “B-Dubs”-certified waystation equipped with digital menu boards; you’ll know exactly where you are when awaiting your order—and in fact, even have the option to sit in and catch a game at the restaurant as per usual courtesy of their large-screen TVs designed to entertain the on-standby customer.
“I was just driving by and saw it and thought I ought to give it a try,” one customer, of East Patchogue, told The South Shore Press on the scene. “They don’t have a lot [of Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants] out here.”
Now, they do have one; wherein waiting overly so for your food is but a thing of the past.
This is Buffalo Wild Wing’s second “GO” to open its doors on Long Island, after Shirley unveiled theirs last year. Though consideration for the concept predated COVID, it sure did wonders for maintaining the popular sports bar brand’s reputation during the first year of the pandemic when the first GO location was launched.
Six workers will work Patchogue’s “BWW: GO.” The restaurant will be open from 11 a.m. to midnight every gameday.
