One sign at the corner is all it took to stir up plenty of commotion in the city of Decatur this week, as tens of thousands saw with their own eyes what looks to be a sign that a new franchise will soon be serving up coffee in the city.

The sign, as shown above, shows the Starbucks logo next to the name of the city and Strategic Growth.

Strategic Growth is an LLC from Fort Wayne linked with national chains and franchises, along with banks and credit unions, according to its websites.
The property at the corner of 13th Street and Nuttman Avenue in Decatur is owned by Donald Braun of Decatur. That property sits on .19 acres. Strategic Growth owns 2.39 in five different parcels around the Braun property, which has been vacant for decades.
A rental property along Nuttman has been owned by the same company. It is a 1600 sq. ft home with parking.
