Starbucks Is Coming To AltonALTON - It is highly possible that residents may be able to enjoy a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte by fall 2022 in Alton, Alton Mayor David Goins said on Tuesday.

Mayor Goins confirmed Tuesday that Starbucks is definitely coming to Alton and will position itself where the old Shop 'n Save gas station was once located on Homer Adams Parkway. He said the company had to do some additional soil and cleanup work in the area because it had once been the location of a gas station, but now it appears full steam ahead.

Mayor Goins extended kudos to those who have worked on Starbucks coming to Alton and said there was much work done before he became mayor on the project so he extended those individuals a tip of the cap as well.
