Trump Tower Loses Longtime Tenant StarbucksStarbucks has abandoned its location inside
Trump Tower, becoming the latest tenant to leave the building.
The Fifth Avenue skyscraper once hosted dozens of retailers on six floors, but the place now looks mostly like a
monument to Donald Trump. Inside, there’s the Trump Store, Trump Grill, Trump Café, Trump Sweets, a second Trump Store and 45 Wine & Whiskey, a bar named in honor of America’s 45th president, Donald Trump.
A handful of independent operators
still rent office space upstairs, and Gucci continues to pay big money for a storefront that customers enter from the street. But Starbucks had been the
last big brand renting space inside the building’s atrium, where Donald Trump famously rode down the escalator and announced he was running for president.
The shop shut down during the pandemic. Last month, however, it seemed apparent that
Starbucks was gone for good. Access to the location was still roped off, and the Starbucks sign had come down.
