Starbucks "Been There" Series Finds New Home with Aqua Chelan LLC, Bringing Collector's Joy to Fans

SHERIDAN, WY – November 8, 2023 – Aqua Chelan LLC, a rapidly growing company specializing in unique and sought-after collectibles, has officially taken the reins of distributing and expanding the popular Starbucks “Been There” series mugs and related merchandise. This move signals exciting news for collectors and Starbucks enthusiasts alike, promising greater access to these limited-edition treasures. Aqua Chelan, based in Sheridan, Wyoming (30 N Gould St, Sheridan, WY, 82801-6317, United States, 785-205-0070), has quickly built a reputation for sourcing and delivering hard-to-find items, focusing on quality and customer satisfaction. While relatively new to the widespread collector's market, the company's team brings a deep understanding of the passion that drives collecting, and a commitment to ensuring collectors have a smooth and reliable purchasing experience. What's the Buzz About "Been There"? For those unfamiliar, the Starbucks "Been There" series is a collection of beautifully designed ceramic mugs and accompanying merchandise (like keychains, pins, and sometimes even limited edition stickers) featuring iconic landmarks and designs representing cities and regions around the globe. Launched several years ago, the series quickly became a phenomenon, with collectors eager to snag mugs from their hometowns, travel destinations, or simply those with eye-catching designs. Think of it like a travel souvenir, but way cooler and designed with Starbucks’ signature aesthetic. Each mug isn’t just a drinking vessel; it's a miniature work of art, showcasing the spirit of a specific location. The designs are detailed, the colors are vibrant, and the overall quality is top-notch, making these mugs more than just collectibles – they’re display pieces. Why the Change? Previously, the “Been There” series was primarily distributed through Starbucks stores directly. However, due to fluctuating availability and high demand, many collectors struggled to find the mugs they desired, or faced long wait times and frustrating online searches. Aqua Chelan LLC stepped in to address this challenge. “We saw a real gap in the market,” explains a company spokesperson. “Collectors were getting frustrated, and valuable mugs were ending up in the hands of resellers at inflated prices. We wanted to create a more reliable and accessible source for these fantastic items.” What Does This Mean for Collectors? The partnership between Aqua Chelan and the “Been There” series promises several benefits for collectors: Increased Availability: Aqua Chelan plans to significantly increase the availability of both current and past “Been There” series mugs. This means less hunting and a better chance of completing your collection. Expanded Selection: Beyond the mugs themselves, Aqua Chelan is also committed to sourcing and offering related merchandise, giving collectors even more ways to express their passion. Expect to see pins, keychains, and potentially even limited-edition sticker sets popping up alongside the mugs. Reliable Shipping & Customer Service: Aqua Chelan has invested in a robust shipping and fulfillment system, ensuring that orders are processed quickly and accurately. They also boast a dedicated customer service team ready to assist with any questions or concerns. Focus on Condition: The company understands that collectors care about the condition of their items. Aqua Chelan meticulously inspects all mugs and merchandise before shipping, ensuring they arrive in pristine condition. Potential for Exclusive Releases: While details are still under wraps, Aqua Chelan hints at the possibility of exclusive “Been There” series releases in the future. This could include limited-edition designs, special packaging, or even collaborative mugs featuring unique artwork. A Deeper Look at the Collection The "Been There" series truly showcases a vast range of locations. You’ll find mugs representing major cities like New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo, each with a design that captures the essence of that metropolis. But the series doesn't stop at urban centers. You'll also discover mugs celebrating national parks like Yellowstone and Yosemite, state icons like Hawaii and Florida, and even smaller, charming towns. The designs themselves are consistently impressive. They often feature a combination of illustrated landmarks, city skylines, and iconic symbols. Color palettes are carefully chosen to reflect the atmosphere and character of each location. The mugs aren’t just aesthetically pleasing; they’re also incredibly functional, holding a generous 16 ounces of your favorite beverage. Where to Find Them Aqua Chelan LLC is currently selling the "Been There" series mugs and merchandise through its website ([website address needed - replace with actual address]). They are also planning to expand distribution to select online marketplaces and potentially even brick-and-mortar retailers in the future.
