    Walking through the hallways in the morning at Antioch Community High School, there are many people drinking coffee and hot chocolate. However, none of them seem to have a Starbucks cup in hand.

    Junior Brittany Bluthardt said, “[I want a Starbucks in Antioch] because I wouldn’t have to drive and waste gas driving to Round Lake or Gurnee. I go to Café Book and Dunkin Donuts right now, but I would go to Starbucks because the coffee is better.”

    With no response from the Village of Antioch, it is unknown whether or not the rumors are true if a Starbucks will ever be coming to Antioch.

    Even without a Starbucks, Antioch has other great, affordable places to go for your morning coffee, such as the friendly Café Book or fast Dunkin Donuts.
