Been too long since i’ve last updated but i caught this little bit in the new, From the boston globe that Starbucks isn’t doing so well.
NEW YORK (Reuters) – One coffee drinker’s bad news is another coffee drinker’s good news, it seems.
Financial woes at Starbucks Corp <SBUX.O>, which is planning to close 600 underperforming U.S. stores, is evoking glee and little sympathy from aficionados who say they resent the coffee shop giant and favor small independent cafes.
Its sad to see coffee places close but as far as starbucks goes.. I cant really give any sympathy myself for this. There expansion was at breakneck speed and in the end it was there own fault. I’ve been in Starbucks on Occasion , When theres no other coffee within miles. But you can see why Starbucks fucked up, google maps shows it perfectly.
Like why the hell are there 3 starbucks within 2000 feet of each other. Its like someone went on a bombing run of Providence with Starbucks all in a straight line.
seriously there cant be that many uppity people in providence that need there starbucks that bad. but there way of putting up stores is just bad.
I’d hate to say it but if you look at dunkin donuts its much more logical than starbucks…
