The Prince William Board of County Supervisors unanimously approved a Special Use Permit for a new Starbucks near Dumfries.
The coffee shop will replace an old Ruby Tuesday restaurant. The permit allows a drive-through facility in connection with a by-right restaurant and associated sign modifications in the B-1 General Business zoning district. The project was praised for being a veteran-owned business.
The site is located at 17050 Richmond Highway, about 150 feet south of the intersection of Richmond Highway and Pine Bluff Road. It is designated MU-4, a Mixed-Use Community in the Comprehensive Plan, and is within the Southbridge Activity Center Special Planning Area. The site is zoned B-1, General Business, Highway Corridor Overlay, Agritourism, and Arts Overlay District.
The Prince William County Planning Commission recommended approval of the project on May 8, 2024. County staff also recommended approval.
Potomac Distirct Supervisor Bailey expressed strong support for the project. “Madam Chair, I appreciate the opportunity to speak on this item’s behalf, as it will be one of the largest veteran-owned Starbucks in the mid-Atlantic. So I’m very proud to say that,” said Bailey.
Brentsivlle Supervisor Tom Gordy also voiced support, appreciating the applicant’s commitment to the veteran community. “I just wanted to thank the applicant for their support for our Marines and our veterans. This is going to be a veterans-focused store, and I just wanted to offer my appreciation for making that commitment and extending that appreciation to our vast 40,000-strong veteran community in Prince William County, as well as the thousands of Marines that are stationed at Quantico,” said Gordy.
