Starbucks Corp. completed its acquisition of Atlanta-based Teavana Holdings Inc. this week, “promising to reinvent the way the world enjoys tea,” wrote Jeff Hansberry, Starbucks president of channel development and emerging brands, in a blog posted Monday. 

The $620 million cash transaction was first revealed in November. The move makes the more than 300-unit Teavana retail chain a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seattle-based Starbucks.  

Hansberry wrote that while some of Teavana’s product lineups may change, “most of the Teavana experience will stay the same and several new additions will be offered.” - Restaurant News

The store is very elegantly decorated and the smooth plaster walls create an amazing finishing touch. The store is located in a busy outdoor mall next to very busy retail stores and major anchor tenants. Sells gourmet artisan chocolates, serves chocolate dipped strawberries,medallions,and serves a unique sipping chocolate for those who enjoy drinking rich dark chocolate. Authentic French macaroons are also sold and have proven to be a very popular item. The current location has only been opened for 5 months and has proven itself to be very successful. - BizBen
