News Notes

Drink

Starbucks will cut 13 drinks from its offerings next week, with plans to shrink its menu by 30% by September. If you were faithful to the Chocolate Cookie Crumble Crème Frappuccino (say that five times fast), find your fix at a local coffee shop instead. (Business Insider)

Pet

Highland Cabinetry recently ranked South Carolina the No. 10 most pet-friendly state in the US. Considering how many dog-friendly spots you can find around Charleston — from restaurants to hotels — we aren’t surprised at all.

The Word

Telephobia. It’s a word to describe the fear some people — primarily Generation Z — have of making or getting phone calls. If your friend would prefer the written word over a call, send them this newsletter as a subtle message that you’d like to hang out this weekend. (CNBC)

Closing

In case you missed it, Joann Fabrics is closing all of its stores — including its Lowcountry locations. After shopping the Joann discounts, you can find us hitting up local fabric stores like Wild and Wooly, Quilt, Knit, Fabric & Yarn store. (Fast Company)
