I'd hardly call it a national chain. It's primarily on the west coast with a handful of stores elsewhere. It's still pretty "Berkeley." I'd say a good portion of our customers (Yes, I'm working there again) are Bay-area transplants, or spent a great deal of time there.

But in other news, I'm no where near a Peet's. I'll have to stop by tomorrow - can't sully this with a Starbuck's coffee.
