MANCHESTER – Fear not everyone who enjoys their specialty java, a Starbucks café is coming your way to the Whiting section of the township.
Despite some social media posts that proclaimed that the coffee chain had backed out of their plan to be a part of a strip mall being built, Mayor Robert Arace set the story straight telling The Manchester Times that “Starbucks is still coming. The sign is actually up and they are posting job openings on Facebook as well and I confirmed with the Paramount development group that they are coming.”
While the Starbucks is going up, a long-time dormant building along Route 37 has been removed. An old Getty station along the highway that had been closed down for years and only served as an eyesore was recently demolished.

The mayor said that Manchester Township took possession of the property in a tax seizure and the Department of Public Works took care of knocking it down. According to township officials, there are no current plans to develop the property.
