Hotel launches updated outlet with pet-friendly community event
DALLAS – August 19, 2024 – Fairmont Dallas [1] is proud to announce the
grand reopening of its newly renovated lobby-level Starbucks with a
special Dog Days of Summer event in honor of International Dog Day. The
event will take place on Monday, August 26, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
The Dog Days of Summer event will feature an array of activities
designed to create a delightful experience for all attendees. Local
vendors, including Arie and Pru [3] and Caricatures By Guy With The
Guitar will be present, selling dog bandanas and offering complimentary
pet portrait services, providing an opportunity for guests to capture
charming keepsakes of their furry friends. The hotel’s talented pastry
team has crafted special dog treats for the occasion, and puppuccinos
will be available to give pets a taste of the Starbucks experience.
In addition, 5% of sales from Arie and Pru will be donated to Operation
Kindness [4], the largest no-kill shelter in North Texas. Operation
Kindness assists animals in need of veterinary care, companionship, and
most of all, a home. In addition to pet adoptions and lifesaving medical
care, the organization’s programs provide foster care for vulnerable
animals, resources for pet parents, affordable veterinary services for
community pets, a pet food pantry, and volunteer opportunities.
The newly renovated Starbucks at Fairmont Dallas boasts a modern
aesthetic designed to enhance the experience of hotel visitors and
guests. Key features of the renovation include an extended beverage
counter to accommodate a wider variety of drinks, a nitro cold brew
station, and expanded interior and exterior seating areas. These
enhancements provide a comfortable and enjoyable space for relaxation
and socializing while overlooking the beautiful Dallas Arts District.
Along with improved work spaces and complimentary Wi-Fi, the pet
friendly location will now offer outdoor seating and water bowls for
dogs enjoying the city sights and sounds while their owners enjoy their
beverages and meet with colleagues and friends. The floor to ceiling
windows that framed the store remain, allowing natural light to
encapsulate guests and visitors.
“We can’t wait to welcome new and returning customers to our
refreshed store,” Janie Coronado, Fairmont Dallas Starbucks Manager
said. “It is our goal to bring a bit of happiness to everyone’s day
through both hot and cold beverages, breakfast and light bites, and
retail selections.”
Fairmont Dallas’ Starbucks is located on the lobby level of the hotel
at 1717 North Akard Street in Dallas and is open to the public Monday
through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday

“We are excited to unveil our renovated Starbucks and celebrate
International Dog Day with the community,” said David Sher, General
Manager of Fairmont Dallas. “This event is a perfect blend of community
engagement and a showcase of our new space, designed to be a welcoming
hub for both our guests and their pets.”
