The Barnegat Township Zoning Board recently turned down a request for a drive-thru Starbucks on West Bay Avenue near the Garden State Parkway.

It would have been located in a shopping center that also features an AT&T store, Domino’s Pizza, Dollar General, Auto Zone and Mattress Warehouse. Starbucks does have one establishment in town, across the street with a kiosk located in the Acme supermarket.
