More than 30 years after that first sip of Starbucks® coffee, Chicago gets its first taste of Princi artisanal baking. The new Princi store at at 1000 W. Randolph, in the West Loop neighborhood is the second stand-alone Princi location in the United States, with one in Seattle and another to open in New York later this fall. Starbucks is an investor and global licensee of Princi, a boutique bakery and café started in 1986 by renowned Milanese baker, Rocco Princi. “Chicago was Starbucks second city in the U.S., and our first city outside the Pacific Northwest.
