UVillage reaches magical 4-Starbucks threshold

As the blogosphere crowdsources a definitive list [1] of which locations Starbucks will be closing as part of its 600-store retrenchment [2], University Village mall just celebrated the opening of its fourth store, an expansion and refurbishment of the previous SBC location inside the QFC supermarket. The new store — a licensed one by the looks of it — joins the large central location at the mall, the smaller branch in the Crate & Barrel building, and the licensed location inside the Barnes & Noble. Fiddling while Rome burns, or a sign of things to come as UVillage prepare for a major expansion [3]?
