Starbucks is thinking inside the box for its proposed new drive-thru store on Chicago's North Side.
The coffee chain plans to build the location, at Broadway and Devon in the Edgewater neighborhood, entirely from stacked reclaimed shipping containers, DNA Info reports. The drive-thru would include a walk-up window and outdoor seating.
It replaces a hot dog stand and takes influence from other shipping-container designs the company has used in Portland and for other pop-up shops and drive-thrus.
The city still needs to approve the plan.
