SBUX

I am not bringing in politics, I am bringing in money. This isn't a coffee thread, it is a financial thread about coffee. As such, I just couldn't see your "monetary" or "financial" reasoning for liking Peet's over SBUX. It seemed to me that you like Peets just because it wasn't mainstream.

Are you saying that you don't like the coffee but think SBUX is a fiscal sound company? Or, are you saying that you prefer Peet's to SBUX because you don't think SBUX is a fiscally sound company?

It is pretty evident that most people who don't like SBUX tend to be more hipster. There is anything wrong with hipster per se, I was just "taking the piss" as the Brits say.

Starbucks forces Wi-Fi customers to cough up personal data
With all the news about Facebook data access and privacy hovering menacingly over the internet lately, it seems an odd time for Starbucks to begin "forcing" customers to register so they can connect to Wi-Fi. But that’s indeed what’s happening to coffee drinkers around the country. Many are sipping coffee and finding an unexpected “email and zip code required for access” login screen when they sit down to connect, and some aren’t happy.(GeekWire)

Starbucks adds an extra shot to its afternoon marketing push
Starbucks is putting more emphasis on marketing in the afternoon to get people to think of the world's largest coffee chain for more than just their morning java fix. But don't expect the return of lots of cheap Frappuccinos. Starbucks says the number of people in its rewards program rose 12 percent to 14.9 million. Now, Starbucks is doing more to woo the millions more who visit less frequently, particularly those occasional visitors who stop in one to five times a month. (Ad Age)
 
Nestle and Starbucks

Nestle is going to start selling Starbucks coffee around the world, and will pay the U.S. chain $7.15 billion for the privilege. The Swiss firm appears to have struck the Starbucks deal in order to fortify its leading position in the international coffee market. Starbucks says it will use the cash to speed up share buybacks. The products will be distributed using Nestle's network, but Nestle's name won't be on the packaging. Reuters
 
Too Much Coffee

Starbucks is going to close 150 poorly performing company-operated locations in 2019, about three times as many as it usually shutters. Those affected are mostly in urban areas where there are a lot of Starbucks stores. CNNMoney
 
Nestle and Starbucks

Nestle and Starbucks have closed their deal for letting Nestle market Starbucks' packaged goods outside the latter's outlets. As part of the deal, around 500 Starbucks employees in the U.S. and Europe—mostly in Seattle and London—are moving over to Nestle. Bloomberg
 
When you consider the price of coffee in future's market and what Starbuck charges for their coffee and they crappy food way too expensive, am amazed at number of people who continue to go there. Other than friends who show up to spend an hour socializing, I been going more to Cracker Barrel where they have much better coffee and food IMHO. I think SBUX has built way too many stores, often by 11am, stores are empty and drive thru usually nothing but women buying excessive sugar drinks. It is a small wonder why America is so obese.
