True, but I always associated Starbucks with yuppies, not a family
experience place with breakfast, lunch and dinner and now they're closing
650 stores, McD keeps steam rolling along.

Starbucks was too high priced, too narrow in scope and expanded too fast. I
have no mercy for the likes of Starbucks or Krispy Kreme. I've had exactly
two Starbucks cappuccinos and two Krispy Kreme glazed donuts. I actually
give Dunkin Donut's nods for trying to grab some of each market. But the
donut market is really a morning market. Who goes there for lunch or
dinner? Not the majority.

AND, I never understood why Wendy's never got into the fast food breakfast
market! Biggest mistake Thomas ever made. They could've grabbed a big slice
out of McD and BK's profit pies.

Back to coffee.

Imho,

Andy
