The brief summary on the actual paper (https://www.nber.org/papers/w32604):

"...tracts that received a Starbucks saw an increase in the number of startups of 9.1% to 18% (or 2.9 to 5.7 firms) per year, over the subsequent 7 years. A partnership between Starbucks and Magic Johnson focused on underprivileged neighborhoods produced larger effects."

Seems like third places have strong effects here.
