‘Central Perk’ Coffee Shops Might Be Coming to Illinois
We may never see Monica, Ross, Rachel, Joey, Chandler and Phoebe share a scene together again, but we might be able to have a giant cup of Central Perk coffee.
Friends is my show. I started watching it when I was way too young to get the jokes, and know almost every line to every single episode.
So when I heard this rumor that Central Perk coffee shops might start popping up around the country I was more than a little excited.
The details are sparse, but according to The Blast, "Warner Bros. Entertainment secured a copyright earlier this month to use the name Central Perk for 'coffee shop and cafe services'."
The copyright also mentioned, 'coffee bars, tea bars, snack bars, coffee beans, coffee cups, advertising and banners.'
That's quite a long list of copyrighted material if there's not going to be a coffee shop.
And when those Central Perk locations pop up, you better believe I will drive to the closest location looking for a giant orange couch to sit on.
