It’s official, Starbucks is coming to Reunion and will have a store located in the Reunion Village at 104th and Tower Road. Shea Homes closed on the land sale to Starbucks, so there’s no backing out now. All you homeowners know what I mean.

Construction is slated to begin in the Spring and the store will be located just north of where Sonic is.

Not only should coffee lovers be thrilled, but everyone should be excited about this because of “The Starbucks Effect”.  Rumor has it that houses within a 1 mile radius of a new Starbucks location increase in value over the first few years the store is open.  I still have yet to find any evidence to back this up, so if you have any please share it with us in the comments.

And for those of you adamant about the Local Coffee Shop vs. Starbucks debate, here’s your chance to vote…

We just published a full-featured job board on the site and are excited to get a few employers in the area to post some jobs for our community. While this will undoubtedly be a little slow at first, I’m sure it will pick up as the towncenter is built and more home-based businesses move into the area. Some of the cool things you can do:

• Employers get a login and can add/edit/remove posts at will
• Job Seekers can apply online and even submit resumes via the job board
• Easily email interesting jobs to friends
• And more…

To get started posting jobs, go to www.reunion-colorado.com/jobs and use the “Contact Us” link to request an employer login. Once verified, we’ll send you a username/password so you can begin posting your positions. This is also great for any home-based businesses interested in part-time assistance or even full commission based jobs.

Well, it was just a matter of time until Starbucks committed to a store in Reunion and they’re going to be putting in our first coffee shop next to Sonic at 104th & Tower rd! For anyone else who was about to put up a coffee stand and make millions of the residents of Reunion…I hear they’re hiring at the airport.

I’m sure you all know about the Wal-Mart that’s being built at the North-East Corner of 104th & Tower Rd, but we just learned that it’s going to be a Super Wal-Mart complete with grocery store! No more driving 20 minutes down the road because you need more sugar for dinner.

There’s also the Del Taco that’s almost done being built next to the gas station. Looks like they’re going to be the only food-stop besides Subway were you can actually go in and sit down. Men…FINALLY a sit-down restaurant in Reunion where you can take your wives to celebrate anniversaries. (Use of Del Taco for anniversary dinners is at your own risk.)

We’ll let you know as we learn more about new businesses opening, but hopefully Starbucks kick-starts some of the bigger names!
