Skyland Boulevard Starbucks Unexpectedly Closes Hold your peppermint mochas – Tuscaloosa might have lost a Starbucks. The coffee shop located at the corner of Highway 69 and Skyland Boulevard affixed signs to its doors and drive-thru speaker indicating that the store has temporarily closed. There was no explanation for the unexpected closure. "Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience," the sign read. "We are working to re-open our store as quickly as possible." The store also shows up as "temporarily closed" in a Google search, and the location right off I-20 does not show up on the store locator map on Starbucks' website or mobile app.
