Construction on the 5,500-square-foot commercial building is taking place across the street from McDonald's near The Dalles Bridge.

A group of nine protestors lined the sidewalk of Starbucks reopening at the Corner of Sixth St. and Cherry Heights Rd. in The Dalles in a boycott to bring attention to the killings occurring in the Gaza Strip as the Israel Hamas war thunders.

Starbucks Officials have yet to release a statement in regards to why the Starbucks in Cascade Square in The Dalles has temporarily closed. Jory Mendes, a Starbucks media relations representative, is looking into the situation and expects to provide comments in the near future.
