I agree. I have never had a problem with their coffee. Waiting a long
time to get one has been a problem. Finding a place to sir down and
enjoy that coffee has been a problem. I don't mind spending more for a
good cup of coffee and a nice place to drink it, but 50% extra is a
little steep

Has it expanded faster than Tim Hortons? They are everywhere around
here. I live in a town of 15,000 and there are 3 of them in town. There
are cities around here where you can't drive more than a few blocks
without seeing one.
