Starbucks with Most Power Outlets in Nanaimo, British Columbia

Most locations have both. Community tables usually have USB-A and USB-C integrated into the table surface, while wall outlets are standard 3-prong. Newer remodels are increasingly USB-C PD (up to 65W) for laptop charging without a brick.

It is not officially prohibited but not common. If outlets are shared or crowded, ask staff first — most will say yes if it is a simple strip and not a fire hazard. Daisy-chained extension cords are discouraged.

Starbucks prioritized in-table power in the "Third Place" remodel wave that ran 2016–2019, adding integrated USB and AC receptacles into community tables. Older stores that skipped that remodel still rely on perimeter walls only.

Yes, typically 2–4 outlets for the small café portion of the store. They rarely make our ranking because the filter requires more than just presence — we weight stores by estimated plug count.

In the U.S. and Canada, yes — 120V standard. International Starbucks follow local voltage standards (220–240V in the EU, UK, Japan, etc.). USB-C in-table ports output standardized PD regardless of country.

A small number of Starbucks locations — mostly in flagship and Reserve stores — piloted Duracell Powermat wireless charging in 2014–2017. Most have been removed. If Nanaimo has a Reserve store, it may still offer pad-based charging at the bar.
