» Starbucks to slash U.S. store openings
Starbucks is having to cut back dramaticly on the number of stares they will be opening in the US in the next year and focus on growth abroad, due to weak US sales. This makes complete sense to me for two reasons. First there is already a starbucks on practically every corner so it must be starting to cost more to have so many stores open and only a set amount of people purchasing coffee at them. Second starbucks is a slightly expensive cup of coffee, and with places suck as Dunkin Donuts and McDonalds jumping aboard the gourmet coffee train for a lower price, it makes me believe that starbucks mush be losing customers.
