Since Starbucks announced its intention to open a third coffee shop in Bath people have been sharing their views on Twitter and at Bathchronicle.co.uk

@Chutzpah84: "What Bath doesn't need: a third Starbucks store. What Bath is getting: a third Starbucks store. Hope the independents nearby win."
@LindsayHoldoway: "Does Bath need another Starbucks??"
@MiserableBath: "I like Starbucks. I don't think 3 is enough in Bath. They should get a 4th in SouthGate."
@lewisking: "Bath does not need 3 Starbucks stores. Bath does not need 1 Starbucks store."
@EmmaFrancesLucy: "Another Starbucks in Bath? Meh, I'll still be favouring @societycafebath and @Colonna_Smalls. Always."
@Canuck_in_Bath: "Another Starbucks coming to Bath. EXACTLY what Bath doesn't need! Tiny Bath, 3 Starbucks, all a few blocks apart?! Pushing out the indies."

CyrilCringe: "No-one is forced to use Starbucks. If you don't like them or their coffee then use one of their many competitors, local or national chains. Starbucks will only prosper and open more chains if they are profitable, which clearly they are."
lamail: "That's three Starbucks too many."
wheelie_bin: "It's good to have a choice of coffee shops to boycott."
BV_BV: "How have I managed to miss the first two Starbucks in Bath? I'll probably manage to miss this one as well."
