Is Starbucks Passé? - Page 3

What's odd is that the 600 stores that are closing are all within a 1 mile radius of each other. It's just an experiment to see what will happen.

Starbucks is a coffee place, not a trend - at least to me.

It'll be good to know if reducing density by 8% in that mile drops revenue significantly.

Peet's anyone?

I don't think Peet's is feeling the crunch at the same level as Starbucks. Peet's didn't open 3 stores within a half mile of each other.

Starbucks is kinda like the ABC stores in Waikiki. Always By the Corner.

Peet's has 1 store in Long Beach as opposed to about half a million Starbucks. However, if they close any Starbucks drive-thrus, I'll be disappointed. With Thurston in tow, that's sometimes the only way for me to get a good cup of joe.

So? When do we start getting free refills on LoT?

Many of us on this board spent a LOT of time in coffee shops, having this exact same neverending conversation...about everything and nothing.

Truth be told, it was a lot like this board, except with free refills.

Hehehe!! Love it. I appreciate conversation.

I occasionally like coffee. I just don't much like Starbucks. Tastes burned and they brew it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too strong for my taste. I'm told I'm not a true coffee drinker. Whatever.
