Petition Created to Stop Building of Starbucks in National Park

At least 23,000 have signed a petition protesting the arrival of a Starbucks at Yosemite National Park. The Starbucks would be part of a food court attached to one of the area’s lodges. Protestors fear its opening will lead to more big name restaurants and retailers coming to Yosemite. The U.S. National Park Service has kept brand names at arm's length, but never banned them by law or regulation.
