  2. Joe Brancato says:

  4. Theo Carlsen says:

    They should keep the playground for the kids.

  5. Dave Bogna says:

    There is already 2 Starbucks on that 4 way intersection. What the hell, let’s make it 3.

  6. Carly Joseph says:

    There is a Starbucks directly across the street! Should have been a coffee bean

  7. Ruth Rassool says:

    I’m still calling that the “new Burger King”?

  8. Mariana Cee says:

    This is a great air conditioned play place where my kids love to go when the park is too hot. It’s clean and usually empty…this sucks.

  9. Kevin Mathis says:

    turn it into a sonics..

  22. Really? There’s literally a Burger King across the street by in n out and another across the other street but Ralph’s and that will leave one Burger King in Santa Clarita ridiculous

  23. John Whitlaw says:

    Like we need an other Starbucks

  24. Starbucks is a drive through drug hub keeping all the caffeine addicted people happy. Nobody wakes up in the morning saying ” I got to have my whopper ” before I can function today. Lol

  25. Bob Lathrop says:

    Nicole Coia Lathrop

  26. WhatttNatalia Jauregui

  27. Jamie Grayem says:

    Yes it does! Although having a drive thru starbucks down the street makes it a little better

  28. Mirella Lopez – Gonzalez Robledo Sanchez Mini Ocampo que les dije

  29. Julio Rincon says:

    Nooooo. No more 2 for 5 whoppers

  30. David Valdez no more French toast sticks

  31. NO NO NO that makes 3 in one intersection. How stupid….

  32. Josh Larson says:

    I’d turn this into a bar but keep the play place intact for drunken adults. The drive thru can be a roundabout for ubers/cabs.

  33. ….But can they keep the playground? Alicia Costin best Starbucks everrrrrr

  34. Talk about overkill of Starbucks, there is one right across the street

  35. Trudy Trump says:

  42. Eleanor Neal says:

    Julie Lundt Dorrell

  43. Eric Baker says:

    I hate Starsucks..

  44. Sean Sorrow No more BK!

  45. Debbie Erven says:

    They can change it into Starbucks only if they keep the play place! It’s a great inexpensive place to take the kids when escaping the heat!

  46. Nooooooo!!!! UGH we have plenty of Starbucks in SCV.. Don’t need anymore! They closed the BK on Soledad Cyn Rd in Canyon Country, and now this one? That’ll leave just 1?! Ugh and way on the other side of town. ?

  47. Tere De La Cruz yessssssss??

  48. Just what we need another Starbucks

  49. Join the club. Sunland, Tujunga and la Crescenta also closed and became ST. :(

  50. Probably do better as Starbucks being In and Out there

  51. Kristine Darabedyan Chris Rodriguez

  52. We’ve had two by us turned into Starbucks, one in Sunland and the other in LaCrescenta!

  53. No! It’s the best play area in town!!!!!!!

  54. Antonio Ambriz Aguilera oh no! Hahaha

  55. I will not buy coffee here my kids love it as Burger King the only one near Canyon Country! You have a Starbucks across the street take your buns over there and drink your coffee who is with me we don’t need a Starbucks here

  56. They will probably close the one across the street. That’s what they did here in Castaic.

  57. Jerry Munoz says:

    Nancy Rivas Arteaga ?????

  58. Ruben Perez says:

    Nooooooo! I need my tender crisp sandwich!!! Nichole Shelton

  59. Jorge Ravelo says:

    Ariel Navas gentrification has gone too far

  60. How many Starbucks does this city need!! Geez forget aliens ?, Starbucks is the true invasion ?!! This sucks ?!

  61. Im.okay with it i hate burger kings so nasty

  62. That’s 3 Starbucks all at one intersection lol

  63. Juan Medrano says:

    That’ll work for me… Hope they also include a play area for the kids. Lol loren Medrano

  64. Yes I agree…keep the playground. And I also agree that no more Starbucks are needed. Keep the Burger King.

  65. Melissa Vasquez Stewart

  66. Well this sucks ass!! Another inflated coffee house. I travel from across town just to get their chicken sandwich.

  67. I missed the part where they asked my permission or opinion.

  68. Hugo Zamora says:

    Because if there’s one thing that Santa Clarita needs, it’s more Starbucks.

  69. Guess I’ll have to eat more in and out

  70. Any one else have their parents drop you off there back in the early 90’s just to play free video games on their Sega’s?

  71. There’s already 2 Starbucks within walking distance! Why???

  72. Jen Sherman says:

    Michael Born, but isn’t their a Starbucks right across the street by in n out already?? Lol

  73. Richard Alfaro says:

    Build a King Taco….

  74. Burger King is the worst of the worst fast food I haven’t eaten there in 20 years (since it made me sick) good riddance.

  75. I think I read somewhere (maybe in a comment section) that there was on across the street. Anyways that’s gonna be one big Starbucks.

  76. As if there isn’t enough already…wait, THERE’S ONE LITERALLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THERE. Of all things, why another Starbucks?

  77. Seriously?? They couldn’t think of ANYTHING else to put in there?

  78. And guess what folks? Another drive thru Starbucks is going to go in where the KFC is on Lyons and Orchard Village Road. Even tho there is a Starbucks on the corner of Orchard Village already. Source at the City said Starbucks wants to put more drive thrus in SCV. And that they are keeping the Starbucks on Orchard Village because it has a nice seating area outside. No worries tho – KFC is going a block down to the old Chase bank building. Now you will have KFC and Popeyes right across the street from each other. LOL Chicken Wars.

  79. Greg Boyle says:

    Starbucks is crap anyways does scv need another? Bring back koffee kiosks

  80. We need another Starbucks across the street from another location ?

  81. Go to Telly’s for a dollar more ?

  82. NO! Not my great Burger King

  83. Too many Starbucks!!! There is one by in and out, ralphs, 2 at Albertsons. This is crazy…

  84. Peter Haddad says:

    Mike Lawry Gabe Perez

  85. For anyone who doesn’t know, the store across the street is moving…so you don’t have to keep worrying about two stores being open.

  86. At least call it “BK Lounge”

  87. It takes two hands to handle a Whopper but it takes $2.45 for grande pike coffee! Starbucks wants to sale wine and beer!

  88. Greg Goldman says:

    Brandon Sweeney David Kern make sure they got good tasting water

  89. Rachelle Khoury-Goldfarb

  90. Hani Yacoub says:

    Noooooo my childhood gone Sunny Sidhu Ahmad YacoubSalim Benmohamed Wissam Saab

  91. Johnny Hanna says:

    Does anyone actually eat Burger King?

  92. They did that to the Burger King in Simi too

  93. Yanet Flores says:

    Javier Ledesma no more BK 4 u??

  94. Diane DeLeon says:

    We just went down to get a farewell burger and they are already closed ! so disappointed we were not told earlier that they were closing down.

  95. Ralph Green says:

    I’m not a coffee person but I have to say theirs too many coffee shops. Instead of a star bucks how about an educational center or something useful. Starbucks is getting out of hand

  96. very POOR choice. there are too many starbucks in SCV.Starbucks

  97. There are so many Starbucks, but 1 Burger King!!!?

  98. So bummed! We love having birthday parties there!

  99. Alex says:

    There’s too many Starbucks in this smaller community already. I counted at least 7 off the top of my head. And isn’t there already Starbucks on Bouqet cnyn down toward the in n out? I understand they’re a popular place but goddamn…

  100. Alex says:

    The only other Burger King around here that I can think of is in the food court of the Valencia Mall.

  101. I would rather have a Dunkin Donuts. Love their coffee and breakfast selection. Already too many Stabucks in SCV and their customer service is horrible in the Lowes parking lot. Service extremely slow and in the morning that slow is extremely annoying.

  102. James Webb says:

    I will never buy coffee from there to many coffee places now.

  103. BK sucks and SB is over priced. However the BK has been there longer than I’ve lived here and I was born here. I say keep it as BK, there are way to many Starbucks in scv in my opinion

  104. Brittany Swanson yeah baby

  105. James Reyes I bet u wet af

  106. Ryan Goldsack but ders a Starbucks across the street? Lol

  107. Keep the playground!!! Then us parents can treat ourselves and the kids!!!

  108. YaYa Hernandez Jessica Gavin

  109. Julie Frenzel Williams yess!!!

  110. How about Portos?!?! ?

  111. Really another Starbucks?! Jeez. That’s ridiculous

  112. Diego Alfaro says:

    but theres one right across the street?

  113. Let’s see here…. Do people need a cheeseburger and chicken fries and a Diet Coke or an iced latte? Latte is my answer. Or make it a drive through liquor store. Or just make it something better then a microwaved burger joint. Ew.

  114. I heard that the Starbucks by In and Out was moving to the Burger King location. Losing the King but maintaining the same number of Starbucks. == Know this as a rumor.

  115. Taylor Allen says:

    Stephanie Marie Bryden

  116. Great news. Less fast food burger joints is a good thing.

  117. This may be unconventional response… But I’m really stoked for another drive thru Starbucks. lol

  118. I was just at that Starbucks by Panda Express at 9pm and they were throwing the unsold food in the garbage.

  119. Jeff Petersen says:

    I remember when you opened and had computers for the kids. Many great memories with kids and grand kids! Great Business decision but it will be across the street from the other one.

  120. H. McElmurray says:

    TOO MANY Starbucks! How about a drive-thru pizza place. I’m always wondering why no one has thought of pizza as a drive-thru fast food.

  121. Josh Harvey says:

    Probably going to make a lot more money! Seem smart to me

  122. Ryan Tew says:

    Christy Hoover Tew

  123. Mike Bober says:

    They will lose money, too hard to get in and out of that corner for that kind of traffic.

  124. Like bouquet needs more traffic.. Yikes

  125. Had my 6th birthday party there.

  126. Shirley says:

    WE DON’T NEED ANOTHER DAMN STARBUCKS. GEEZ.

  127. Mikayla wtf there’s one right across the street

  128. There is one right across the street ya addicts

  129. Debbie Ortiz says:

    I am disappointed!! I did not regularly go to BK but I did go. My kids love the play area and I love the onion rings!! I am very sad to see this go – this was a special treat for us to head there. Sad to see that Starbucks is taking over every corner of our world!! SAD that people can’t cross a street to get their stupid coffee fix!!

  130. Good god! That place Is a dump. Always dirty never busy!
    This will change the corner.. Yeah!

  131. Good !!! F$CK that Burger King!!! I’ve had too many chipped teeth from bones in the meat!

  132. James Smith says:

    Michelle Sanchez Smith

  133. Unless you are heading up Newhall Ranch Road, it’s not the easiest place to get out of.

  134. Jared Pierre Nunley daammmnnn

  135. How stupid when there’s one across the street. Just making people more lazy and not wanting to get out of their car.

  136. I’m 23 now but I reember coming here when there was computers and games to play Mann this sucks

  137. I love that Burger King!!! I’m so sick of Starbucks!!!

  138. Casey Verna says:

    Are you going to leave the playplace for the poor, innocent, children?
