"The Seattle-based coffee chain is a huge hit in America’s biggest cities, with over 200 stores in NYC and 184 shops in Chicago — the latter of which (Chicago) also boasts the nation’s largest Starbucks store, which is complete with five floors, three coffee bars, and a cocktail lounge."

Illinois really loves its Starbucks, what is crazy to me is that Illinois sticks out so much from the rest of the midwest, Illinois has basically the same amount of Starbucks locations as Wisconsin, Indiana, and Missouri COMBINED! The population of Illinois is 12.6 million, but the population of Wisconsin, Indiana, and Missouri combined is 18.6 million (roughly). So the numbers just show that the people of Illinois really must love their Starbucks, and I can attest to that because even though I don't drink coffee, I have seen the line of cars waiting around the block at the Starbucks on Broadway in Quincy, IL and it is crazy long during the rush hour morning traffic!
